The North West Public Health Observatory within the Centre for Public
Health, Liverpool John Moores University invites applications for an
MPhil/PhD studentship to conduct a programme of research concerning
relative and absolute inequalities in health.
It is well recognised that inequalities in wealth lead to inequalities
in health. At a population level, many health indicators show a strong
relationship with deprivation. In western societies it is not absolute
poverty but an individual's perceived or actual rank in society that
is linked to health. However while research has been carried out at an
individual level using small-scale surveys, little has been done to
utilise the enormity of geographical level data to explore this
effect. This research programme will test the hypothesis that the
deprivation of immediately surrounding localities relative to each
locality is a predictor of ill health, and determine the strength of
this relationship at different geographical levels. In doing so, it
will utilise deprivation and health data available at the level of
lower super output area, supplemented by national lifestyle data using
modelling techniques. The research is highly quantitative and will
require extensive application of multivariate statistical techniques
and use of geographic information systems (GIS)
Applicants should have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree in Health,
Geography or other related or social science discipline. A relevant
Masters degree would be an advantage (professional research experience
would also be considered). The student will join an active team of
analysts, researchers and information specialists within the NWPHO.
The work programme will be supported by academics with specialist
expertise and networks, in addition to the to the support and
development opportunities provided by the University Research and
Graduate School and the Faculty of Health and Applied Social Sciences.
The studentship covers university fees at the UK/EU level and a
stipend of £12,600 per annum for full-time study up to three years.
The student will register initially for the award of MPhil and will be
expected to transfer to PhD registration within 12-15 months (subject
to satisfactory progress and approval of the transfer report)
