The University of Central Lancashire calls for  International PhD Scholarship in an exploration of lower limb problems in young adults( Medicine & Dentistry)


Study Subject: An exploration of lower limb problems in young adults


Employer: The University of Central Lancashire


Level: PhD


Scholarship Description: Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.
Musculoskeletal problems in young people are common and consume considerable health resources. To date there has been limited focus on the aetiology and natural history of these disorders. Studies have in the main focused on older people because of the societal cost of disability. However there is some evidence that musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb in young adults may be associated with longer term problems. This PhD programme will take an epidemiological approach to investigating the prevalence of, incidence of and risk factors for lower limb problems in young adults


Scholarship Application Deadline: 13 May 2011
