About this position
PhD Studentship at Newcastle University in modelling the aetiology and spatio-temporal distribution of infectious intestinal disease and antimicrobial resistance across community and healthcare systems in the UK.
This project works with the IID3 Study and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to analyse national data on gastrointestinal infections, pathogen detection, diagnosis pathways, and antimicrobial resistance. The research will map how infections and resistance vary across time and regions, explore how laboratory testing methods and symptom severity affect diagnosis, and study how community antibiotic use relates to resistance.
Students will gain experience in statistical modelling, bioinformatics, microbiology, epidemiology, and public health, with a focus on identifying high-risk areas and populations to support outbreak preparedness and response.
Funding: 100% of home student fees covered, plus a tax-free annual living allowance of £25,954 (2025/26), £1,000 travel budget per year, and £5,000 consumables per year. International applicants may apply but must cover the difference between Home and International fees.
Eligibility: A minimum 2:1 Honours degree or international equivalent in a relevant subject is required. Non-native English speakers need IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 5.5 in each sub-skill. International applicants may also need an ATAS certificate.
