Eligiblity
The successful applicant will hold a minimum of an upper class honours degree (2:1 or above). This project may suit graduates with backgrounds in optometry or eye-care, medicine, orthoptics, psychology, neuroscience, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, or a healthcare discipline. Previous experience of either health services or quantitative research methodology/bioinformatics is desirable, but not essential. Training will be provided, including in gathering vision and refraction data for non-eye care professionals, and for bioinformatics statistical data analysis. You will be required to have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check due to the nature of the project.
This project is available as a fully funded full-time PhD. Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact the research supervisors for the project before applying. Informal enquiries are also welcome.
