The Public Health Policy Evaluation Unit, located within the Department of Primary Care and Public Health at Imperial College London, is offering a three-year PhD studentship for eligible students from low- or middle-income countries (LMICs), funded by NIHR.
This opportunity is part of a comprehensive global health systems and policy research program, also funded by NIHR, which focuses on health systems fragmentation in Latin America and India.
The PhD studentship will contribute to the generation of knowledge on health system fragmentation through various research activities in four countries with high poverty and inequality levels: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and India.
The research program aims to quantify the nature and variation of financing fragmentation in these countries, explore how financing fragmentation impacts health system objectives—such as improving access, enhancing the quality of health services, and reducing costs for patients—and assess the impact of key health system reforms on fragmentation and health system goals.
Scholarship Requirements: To be eligible for the Imperial College London Studentship, applicants must:
- Meet the PhD entry requirements of Imperial College London
- Hold, or expect to obtain, a first or upper-second class honours degree, or its equivalent
- A Master’s degree in a relevant field (such as public health, epidemiology, health economics, health data science, health policy and planning, or health financing) is highly desirable.
Scholarship Duration and Benefits: The studentship is funded for three years, providing a tax-free bursary of £22,000 per annum. NIHR will cover tuition fees at the rate for UK Home students. Non-Home students may apply but will be required to pay the difference between home and overseas tuition fees.
Required Documents: Applicants should be prepared to submit the following documents:
- A current CV
- A one-page personal statement
- The names and contact details of at least two academic referees
Application Method:
To apply, please send your CV, a one-page personal statement, and the contact details of at least two academic referees to Dr. Thomas Hone via email at t.hone@imperial.ac.uk.
Note: It is recommended that you reach out before applying to discuss potential tuition fee support options.
