Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
Epidemiological analyses of longevity of career in jumping horses
About the Project
Background:
The group you would join has worked with the FEI for a number of years using data-driven analysis to inform policy changes aimed at maximizing the welfare of the sports horse. This latest work has been initiated following concern regarding the duration of top-level jumping horses’ careers. We will work closely with the FEI to ensure that, where appropriate, the results of our analyses directly impact the welfare of this population of horses.
Aims and objectives:
To identify factors associated with career longevity, with a particular focus on competition intensity
This project is well suited for a PhD training in an area of epidemiological research specifically aimed at having an impact ‘on the ground’. You will be supervised by an experienced supervisory team with complementary skill sets.
Start date
From 1st May 2025
