Collaborative PhD scholarships in Child Health Technology
Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Hallam University are inviting applications for collaborative PhD scholarships in the area of Child Health Technology. Two PhD scholarships are available, jointly funded by Sheffield Hallam University and The Children's Hospital Charity. Applicants should have a clinical or specified healthcare professional background (see the call document for eligibility information).
PhD position: An objective movement analysis tool to inform safe return-to-play in young people
Following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery, only 55% of patients return to sport. In adolescents, ≤23% suffer re-rupture, requiring further surgery and rehabilitation. Aside from surgical and rehabilitation costs, re-rupture increases risks of juvenile arthritis, reducing physical activity and quality-of-life. Adolescent strength and proprioception recovery are highly variable. Current multifactorial movement assessments can be inconsistent owing to poor specificity and sensitivity. A growing body of evidence indicates within-individual movement variability analysis provides insight into complex movement system change. Further, growth in consumer technologies capable of complex movement measurement presents an opportunity to identify clinically-feasible movement variability assessments.
The aim of this project is to identify the application of movement variability analysis as an objective tool in adolescent ACL rehabilitation.
Child Health Technology
The focus of the call is for novel developments in Child Health Technology. This new collaboration will enable two PhD researchers to explore creative approaches to developing health technologies which directly address an identified clinical need and improve healthcare outcomes for patients.
Scholarships are available for 3 years of full-time or 5 years of part-time study. The focus of the call is for novel developments in Child Health Technology. This collaboration will enable PhD researchers to explore creative approaches to developing health technologies that align with national strategic priorities in child health and address an identified clinical need.

Interested applicants may also contact Dr Marcus Dunn (m.dunn@shu.ac.uk | https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcusdunnphd/) for additional information.
Closing date for applications is 1 July 2019.
