Beasiswa untuk anda | PhD Studentship in the Subject of Medical Science with an Orientation Towards Global Health

Scholarship Application Deadline: December 16, 2010

Study Subject: Public Health
Employer: Umeå University
Level: PhD

Scholarship Description: It is widely recognised that the world’s population is in a continuous state of demographic, epidemiological and health transition, not least as a result of increasing globalisation. It is also true that different areas of the world and particular countries encounter these transitions in various ways and at different times. Although some generic principles underlying these processes were set out in the 1970s, there remains a lack of evidence-based analyses from settings which have already experienced major transitions as a basis for informing understanding and policy in contemporary transitions. The aim of this PhD project is to make use of well-established population-based data (for example, but not exclusively, from Swedish historical population registers) in analyses designed to inform policy in today’s transitional populations.

Qualifications
Applicants must 1) hold or anticipate receiving within the next months a University degree equivalent to a European University Master degree in the field of Public Health or equivalent (240 hp) or 2) have 120 Swedish (old) credits (Swe. poäng; corresponding to 180 ECTS credits) of higher education studies in Public Health or equivalent taken before July 1, 2007. Prior qualifications are likely to include graduate and post-graduate attainment in discipline(s) relevant to the practice of global public health, including medicine and well-developed skills in quantitative analysis. Applicants are expected to be interested in global health issues and be willing to work as part of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural teams within the Centre for Global Health Research. This may involve some collaboration in low and middle-income countries, experience of which is desirable. The post will be based in Umeå, Sweden, but may involve some international travel. A good working knowledge of English is essential.
