PhD Studentship on “The impact of the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy on the extent and nature of soft drinks marketing in the UK” – University of Cambridge

A PhD studentship is available in the Centre for Diet
& Activity Research (CEDAR) at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of
Cambridge
. The
studentship will focus on exploring the impact of the planned UK Soft Drinks
Industry Levy on the extent and nature of soft drinks marketing. A number of
potential projects under this heading are possible and the successful candidate
will work with the supervisors to determine which combination of these is most
appropriate. Potential projects include using both existing and new data, and quantitative
and qualitative methods. A small amount of funds may be available to purchase
commercial data. The studentship will take place alongside a much larger
evaluation of the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy.

Further details are available on the document link at the bottom of the article.
