**Funding for t**he Executive **Dean’s **PhD Studentship**. **A Comprehensive Characterisation of Mentally**-**Disordered **Offenders **and Prediction of **Treatment **Outcomes**

The team of Prof Veena Kumari, Dr Ignazio Puzzo and Dr Rachael Bennetts at Brunel University London is offering a fully funded PhD studentship to comprehensively characterise clinical, cognitive and emotion processing profiles of mentally-disordered men and women with challenging behaviour residing in secure mental health facilities, and examine how these characteristics predict therapeutic engagement and clinical outcomes. This PhD project will help to identify therapy targets for certain patient groups who do not show good clinical outcomes with current treatment and management strategies.

Based in and funded by the College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, this studentship offers a full-time annual London rate stipend estimated at £21,237 (including London weighting) and Home/EU tuition fees, for a maximum of 36 months.

The Department of Life Sciences holds a Silver Athena SWAN Award and is committed to equality of opportunity and advancing women’s careers.

The start date will be 1 October 2024.

**Overview**

Forensic mental health patients, the majority of whom have schizophrenia and/or antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), tend to have highly variable outcomes, with some experiencing lengthy stays and high rates of reoffending following discharge. Knowledge of the patient characteristics which are associated with good or poor clinical outcomes would serve to identify areas of unmet need and potential treatment targets. Throughout this doctoral programme, the student will develop proficiency in mental illness and personality disorder symptomatology assessment, neuropsychological testing, cognitive and experimental psychology methodologies, brain imaging techniques, and advanced statistical analyses.

**Eligibility**

**How to Apply**
- An up-to-date CV.
- One example of your academic writing (e.g. an essay, a section from a dissertation).
- A summary of your teaching experience or your willingness to support teaching activities.
- Names and contact details for two academic referees.
- A copy of your highest degree certificate and transcript.
- A copy of your English language qualification, where applicable.

Short-listed applicants will be required to attend an interview week commencing 1 July 2024.
