Oxford Centre for Emerging Minds Research DPhil Studentships

The Oxford Centre for Emerging Minds Research (OCEMR) is focused on conducting world-class research with children and young people that promotes a world where their differences are understood and accepted, strengths are capitalised on, and mental health difficulties are prevented or addressed early.

We are now inviting applications to undertake DPhils (PhDs) in OCEMR from October 2027. Thanks to generous funding from the Paul Foundation, we are able to offer up to four fully funded OCEMR studentships. The studentships will provide a stipend and fees for three years at the UK home fees rate. Due to our funding, the studentships will need to be completed by October 2030.
