University of bristol: exercise, nutrition and health.

A PhD in Exercise, Nutrition and Health equips students with the skills and experience to apply research methods and the tools to critically examine some of the most pressing contemporary issues and problems being experienced in physical activity and/or nutrition research, practice and/or policy.

Students are encouraged to develop a topic of interest that directly relates to their own background or practice experiences, or is of wider interest and relevance to the science underpinning the promotion and maintenance of health of populations, via physical activity and/or nutrition, either in UK nations or overseas.

Students will be supported to develop research questions and design a study that enables them to rigorously research their topic of interest and make an original contribution to the knowledge base of physical activity and/or nutrition in relation to public health. Topics may directly explore policy or practice issues, or contribute more broadly to physical activity and nutrition knowledge, working with specific population groups and communities, addressing systems of inequality and social disadvantage. Where appropriate, students are encouraged to work in collaboration with relevant organisations and/or user and interest groups to ensure their research outputs and key findings can directly inform policy, professional development, practice and service delivery.

Supervisors in Exercise, Nutrition and Health bring diverse interests across epidemiology (for example, associations between physical activity/diet and a range of chronic diseases across population groups); physical activity and dietary assessment (for example, development of indices to assess adherence to dietary patterns); the development and evaluation of physical activity and dietary interventions and/or services (for example, community programmes, school settings); and behaviour change (including the wider determinants of physical activity and diet and the psychological underpinnings of physical activity, nutrition and health).

Supervisors also have diverse expertise in research methods, such as qualitative methods (for example, informing and evaluating the development of interventions or service delivery); secondary data analysis (for example, using nationally representative population surveys and large prospective studies/big data); and scoping and systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the evidence base in physical activity and nutrition.

The school is an exciting environment for graduate studies, and PhD students become an integral part of our research community; we welcome graduate students from the UK and abroad to join our diverse and highly-rated research team.

We welcome new PhD students all year round. However, the largest intake is in September each year with a secondary intake in January. We strongly recommend applicants to consider either a September or January start.

Students and Faculty from All Five SPHHP Departments Garner Prestigious Accolades

Published April 26, 2024

A testament to the School of Public Health and Health Professions' dedication to exceptional research, academia, and service, faculty and students from all five departments have recently been awarded distinctions for their work or studies.

Department of Community Health and Health Behavior

Sarahmona Przybyla, PhD, MPH

Health foundation for western new york's leadership fellows.

Sarahmona Przybyla, assistant dean and director of undergraduate public health programs, was selected to the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York's latest cohort of the Health Leadership Fellows program in March.  Each cohort is made up of roughly 40 professionals from health-related organizations throughout the region. The goal of the program is to strengthen a diverse network of leaders with organizations that serve children and older adults in Western and Central New York. 

"I am honored to be selected as a Health Leadership Fellow and am committed to our cohort’s focus on community health capacity, innovative partnerships, and equity-centered initiatives to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities," she said.

ASPPH Undergraduate Network Advisory Council

Przybyla was also selected to serve on the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health's (ASPPH) Undergraduate Network Advisory Council in January.

Eight faculty members were selected from schools and programs of public health across the country, all of whom are in leadership positions at their institutions. The goal of the council is to inspire innovation and collaboration for the advancement of undergraduate education in public health.

"The Advisory Council is a tremendous opportunity for the School of Public Health and Health Professions to be a leader in undergraduate public health education as an ASPPH member institution," she said.

Jessica S. Kruger PhD, MCHES

• Self-funded PhD- Causes and consequences of balanced nutrition in bees

  Self-funded PhD- Causes and consequences of balanced nutrition in bees

University of bristol     school of biological sciences, about the project.

Introduction:

Bees play crucial roles as pollinators of wild and agricultural plants, contributing significantly to various ecosystems and global food security. However, their health and well-being are under threat due to various factors, including habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and poor nutrition. This PhD project aims to unravel the intricate relationships between bee nutrition, foraging behaviour, and colony fitness to develop strategies for enhancing bee health in human-modified environments.

Project Objectives:

The project comprises four interconnected aims:

1. Study Behavioural Mechanisms that help Bees Increase Nutritional Diversity

Bees could follow different strategies to achieve a diverse diet, for instance, they could show a preference for rare pollen types over common ones, possibly using odour cues. One gap in our understanding is whether bees that are responsible for brood rearing, i.e. nurse bees, follow strategies to mix pollen types. Foragers bees are also likely to play a critical role in achieving a diverse diet. Do they modify their foraging behaviour in response to a mono-floral or a mixed-floral pollen supply?

2. Explore the Balance between Nutritional Diversity and Energy Efficiency in Bee Foraging

Bees need to collect different types of nutrients, while also making sure that resources are collected efficiently. The candidate will investigate how bees balance their need for diverse nutrients vs. the need for an efficient energy collection.

3. Test the Impact of Nutritionally Diverse Forage on Bee Fitness

The candidate will conduct experiments to assess whether providing bees with access to a nutritionally diverse range of forage options leads to improvements in their health and reproduction. This involves measuring colony growth, reproduction rates, and the resilience to stressors under varying foraging conditions.

4. Investigate the Influence of Food Source Arrangement on Nutritional Diversity and Fitness

The candidate will analyse how different food source arrangements, such as a few large patches vs many smaller ones, affect the diversity of collected pollen types. This experiment can be done using bumble bees or solitary bees.
