Self-funded PhD opportunity: the financial impact of cancer diagnosis - Apr 2019

The University of Exeter’s College of Medicine and Health is inviting applications for a self-funded PhD studentship to explore the financial impact of cancer diagnosis to individuals’ and their families in order to inform policy in health and social care and more widely on how best to support this group. The study will use qualitative and quantitative data collected as part of the Persephone Randomised Controlled Trial, a large UK multicentre breast cancer trial with over 4000 participants.

The studentship would suit individuals with an economics background or a social scientist with quantitative skills and interest in health. Collection of primary data will require field travel in the UK.

For more information about the project and informal enquiries, please contact the primary supervisor, Professor Claire Hulme (C.T.Hulme@exeter.ac.uk). The closing date for applications is 3^rd June 2019, and further details can be found here.
