The PhD studentship is appropriate for people who:

• Are interested in the early-life determinants of mental health and wellbeing in children and young people.
• Want to work at the cutting edge of data science, causal inference, and simulation modelling.
• Want to contribute to real-world evidence that shapes early years and mental health policy.
