SCHOLARSHIP: University of Cambridge, UK International Scholarship for Postgraduate | Ph.D Students
University of Cambridge
Applications are invited for 3-year PhD studentships based at the University of Cambridge and supervised by Professor Caroline Trotter
This 3 year PhD project is embedded in the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines & Immunisation, a collaboration between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge.
The student will develop a framework for making decisions about vaccines that more formally considers the effect on the immunisation programme as a whole. They will then apply this draft framework to specific case studies and assess whether and how decision-making could be influenced, leading to further refinement.
