    Changing Lives: childhood experience, cumulative adversity, and supportive environments across the life course

    D.Phil. studentships at Magdalen College: one in the Department of Experimental Psychology supervised by Dr Lucy Bowes and one in the Faculty of History supervised by Dr Siân Pooley

    Deadline 12 noon UK time (midday) on Friday 11 January 2019

    Project description

    We know that exposure to early life adversity is associated with poor psychological, physical and social outcomes across the life course. This project innovatively combines evidence and approaches from psychology, epidemiology, and history to investigate how adversity and inequalities shape people’s lives.

    The D.Phil. students will contribute to one strand of a larger research project that will explore childhood experience and the impact of adversity and inequalities, using either psychological or modern British historical evidence. For further information about the wider project, see: http://torch.ox.ac.uk/childhood

    D.Phil studentships

    The two D.Phil. studentships will be held in different departments: one in the Department of Experimental Psychology supervised by Dr Lucy Bowes and one in the Faculty of History supervised by Dr Siân Pooley. Each D.Phil student will develop their own project within their respective discipline that explores childhood experiences and the impact of adversity and inequalities, using either psychological or modern British historical evidence.

    Potential applicants are encouraged to contact either Dr Lucy Bowes (lucy.bowes@psy.ox.ac.uk) or Dr Siân Pooley (sian.pooley@magd.ox.ac.uk) to discuss their project in advance of applying.

    For further information, please refer to all details on the University departmental websites:

    https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/dphil-experimental-psychology

    https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/dphil-history

    https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/dphil-history-history-science-and-medicine-economic-and-social-history

    The deadline for all applications is 12 noon UK time (midday) on Friday 11 January 2019.

    All applicants that want to be considered for these funded D.Phil. studentships should use the reference code ‘Changing Lives’ on their application.
