1. Fully Funded PhD Position in The effects of sauna on sleep and climate adaptation
Summary of PhD Program:
The use of saunas (and passive heating) has been shown to help humans acclimate to heat, improve cardiovascular physiology, and alter sleep quality. However, naturally occurring high temperatures, such as heat waves, have been shown to negatively affect human physiology and sleep. With the frequency and duration of extreme heat events increasing, simple and inexpensive interventions are needed to mitigate their impact on the general public. Our aim is to understand the physiological and psychological mechanisms by which heat alters sleep in a community setting and to determine if the use of saunas can help people adapt to extreme heat events.
Application Deadline: 21 February 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in The effect of a novel ketone esters and ‘climate adaptation’ drink in people with type 2 diabetes
Summary of PhD Program:
Anthropogenic warming is increasing the likelihood of extreme heat events. There is a growing realization that extreme heat can adversely affect individuals with metabolic diseases. Exposure to high temperatures strains cardiovascular physiology, and people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, alternative or additive strategies to improve the cardiovascular health of people with T2D are needed.
Application Deadline: 28 February 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Breast Trauma in Sport: Are contact sports damaging the breast health of our female athletes?
Summary of PhD Program:
Scientific literature offers limited consideration of the female breast during contact sports. Breast injuries are prevalent, affecting up to 58% of players across their career, causing pain and tissue damage and potential long-term consequences. While ~50-60% of female contact sports athletes experience these injuries, only 10% are reported to medical staff, leading to a ‘silent’ epidemic. These injuries can impair performance and may result in fibrous lumps in breast tissue, often difficult to differentiate from breast cancer.
Application Deadline: 28 March 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Science and Health
Summary of PhD Program:
The University of Portsmouth is part of NIHR SCIP, which is led by University of Southampton and Oxford Brookes University alongside University of Portsmouth, University of Winchester and Southampton Solent University. SCIP is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, through NIHR, with the aim of inspiring students into Research inclusive careers.
