King’s PhD Programme in Mental Health Research for Health Professionals

Wellcome trust phd training programme, about the programme.

Our programme will train the next generation of clinical academics in mental health research in a richly interdisciplinary training environment.

Training fellowships will be available to doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists and allied healthcare practitioners across a diverse range of topics relevant to mental health science.

To enable mental health science to flourish, this new PhD programme will encourage clinicians both from within and outside disciplines traditionally involved in mental health to apply. Supervisory teams will combine clinical and non-clinical academics to ensure PhD fellows gain expertise in technical and scientific skills necessary for mental health science.

Three programmes of research will be available, representing emerging opportunities in mental health science:

1. Translational Neuroscience

The revolution in neuroscience methods means that the brain, in health and disease, can be studied in novel ways, providing mechanistic insights from the level of genes to cellular systems and cognitive processes. These PhD fellowships will equip candidates to cross the translational divide and bring insights from clinical studies to wet-lab research and vice versa, to develop novel treatments, biomarkers and diagnostics.

2. Data science and digital technologies

The availability of diverse types of data, AI tools to interrogate them, and digital platforms for therapies opens new avenues for mental health research. The programme will develop PhD fellows to understand the challenges of innovation in digital mental health, including epidemiology and statistics, computer science, informatics and digital therapies. We emphasise excellent patient and public involvement and user experience for therapies.

3. Society, policy and mental health

The increasing prevalence of mental disorders, particularly in young women, and the COVID pandemic has highlighted the unequal impacts of adversity on population mental health. The uneven distribution of some mental disorders and differing experiences of coercion by ethnic groups, means that health practitioners need to be able to form a nuanced understanding of how discrimination and other forms of adversity may impact both incidence of disorders and delivery of care. This PhD programme will develop clinical researchers able to better investigate these issues and inform policy and practice.

PhD Fellows will be trained in key topics to equip them to negotiate their future careers with an emphasis on generating impactful research. The training will enhance a culture which values diversity and inclusion, open and reproducible science and the critical importance of patient and public voices in research.

Leadership & Supervisors

The Programme Leadership Team (PLT) comprises a director and four co-directors, representing diverse professional and scientific disciplines including psychology (Professor R. Moss-Morris), nursing (Professor A. Simpson), psychiatry (Professor M. Hotopf, Director), social science (Professor S. Hatch) and neuroscience (Professor S. Thuret). 

The PhD supervisors have also been selected across departments from King’s campuses , for their expertise in core areas of relevance to mental health.

Collectively, the supervisor pool - comprised of health professional and fundamental scientists - provides knowledge in translational neuroscience, digital mental health and social science and policy. Our supervisors support a positive research culture and have all signed our code of conduct which highlights our zero tolerance of bullying and harassment, and commitment to fairness.

Economic & Social Research Council Studentships

The KISS DTC has now been replaced with the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP), made up of KCL, Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College.

LISS-DTP will now award ESRC -funded postgraduate research studentships to support doctoral research and training in the social sciences across this partnership. These are available for three or four years full-time, either as a three year PhD (‘+3’) or as a one-year Masters followed by PhD (‘1+3’). Therefore, a masters degree is not a prerequisite for applying for a LISS-DTP studentship.

A range of training programmes are available based on an assessment of the applicant’s prior learning and training needs and each LISS-DTP Thematic Pathway has a variety of Masters programmes associated with it.

Please see the LISS DTP website for details on the Thematic Pathways for more information.

Part-time studentships are also possible at pro-rata rates.

ESRC Open Competition Studentships

The Open Competition enables students to propose their own research project for funding. The Open Competition opens each November with an application deadline at the end of January. Applicants are notified in April about whether or not they have been awarded a studentship commencing in October.

Studentships are offered as either +3 (PhD only) or 1+3 (Masters and PhD). You will need to identify a supervisor who will write a supporting statement for your application.

Visit our studentships page or our dedicated LISS-DTP website for more information.

Please send general enquiries to: [email protected]

ESRC CASE Competition Collaborative Studentships

LISS DTP’s CASE Collaborative studentship competitions promote partnerships between social scientists at King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College and end-user organisations (public or private or third sector ‘partner institutions’).

A collaborative studentship (referred to as a CASE studentship) is one in which the student enhances their training by working closely with the non-academic partner in the development of their research project. They are a great way to initiate longer-term partnerships and to ensure the ‘impact’ of doctoral research.

It is important to note that the academic faculty initially apply for collaborative studentships, as potential supervisors. If successful they may award the studentship either to a named student or through an agreed recruitment process.

The studentship can involve any public or private or third sector partner institution. The involvement of the partner institution should add value to the studentship (e.g. distinctive opportunities for analysis, dissemination, research management, networking and/or knowledge transfer). The PhD project should also enhance the partner institution’s activities by offering the potential for societal or economic impact.

For more information, please visit the studentships page on the LISS-DTP website .
