Graduate Teaching Assistantships 2010 - Supervisor Cicely Marston

Young people's sexual/reproductive health and behaviour

Proposals are invited in the field of young people's health and behaviour focusing on sexual and reproductive health, but also possibly incorporating spatial aspects of young people's health, stigma and discrimination, or family relationships. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: young people's sexuality, contraceptive use, parenthood, sexual violence, sex education, service provision, health promotion. Studies can focus on any location worldwide, provided the data collection is feasible.

Proposed studies should primarily or exclusively use qualitative methods and be aimed at furthering theory in this area.

Prospective students wishing to incorporate secondary analysis of survey data or similar into a primarily qualitative study are also welcome to apply. Please note that you should have a specific dataset in mind if you propose such a study.

Eligibility requirements

Applicants must show evidence of training in human sciences, anthropology, sociology, geography or other relevant social science. Past training in statistical analysis is necessary for mixed-methods proposals.

This project will be based in the Department of Public Health & Policy in the Public & Environmental Health Research Unit
