Funded PhD Studentships available at Northumbria University – Closing Date Feb 18th 2022

Just one of the ambitious and valuable aims of the COST Action “Determinants of Physical ActivitieS in Settings” (DE-PASS) is to provide an effective Knowledge Transfer Platform (KTP). DE-PASS brings together researchers from a host of nations all interested in advancing science and research(er) development. So, to utilise this unique KTP, we wanted to share two exciting PhD opportunities based at Northumbria University (UK) led by members of DE-PASS:  Gavin Tempest, Fiona Ling and Penny Rumbold. The studentships support full Stipend and Tuition Fees. Please share these opportunities with potential candidates and let us know about your own.
