Doctoral Studentship in Psychology Addictive Behaviour, University of London, UK
Job Description: One 3-year doctoral studentship in the area of addictive behaviour is available from September 2010 in the Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths, University of London. This studentship will be completed under the supervision of Dr Andrew Cooper and Prof Jane Powell. Recreational substance use by young people in the UK is prevalent and often associated with a raft of health and social problems, which frequently persist across the individual’s lifetime. Broadly, this studentship will focus on pathways to problematic substance use by examining the risk and resilience factors associated with the onset and development of substance use across adolescence. The studies will use a mix of cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs, and incorporate a range of behavioural, self-report and demographic measures. Outcomes from the studies will have the potential to inform prevention strategies for problematic substance use in adolescence.
Stipend : A stipend of ?17,030 per annum will be provided, inclusive of university fees (?3440 pa).
