Frequently asked questions for the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR)

We're unable to provide direct advice and support. However, Changing Faces can help you with any concerns about disfigurement and disfiguring conditions of any origin. See our sources of support for details of more support groups.

View our events page and Appearance Matters conference for health care professionals and researchers working in the areas of appearance and disfigurement.

Contact UWE Bristol's Press Office, who will put you in touch with the relevant person.

Our research jobs are advertised via the UWE Bristol website, jobs.ac.uk and our social media channels.

People interested in doing a PhD at CAR may need to obtain their own funding as UWE Bristol is not currently funding studentships. Interested students should review the key interests of Associate Professors and Professors at CAR to see if their interests align. If so, email a potential supervisor to inquire about their capacity for PhD supervision and discuss funding.

Postdoctoral fellows must obtain their own funding and be a close match to our work. Contact the CAR Director to discuss.

Sabbatical or other research stays - we cannot provide funding but are able to serve as a host for scholars doing research aligned with our work. Visitors are expected to contribute to CAR's work. Contact the CAR Director to discuss.

Our CAR Diversity, Inclusion and Equality group (CARDIE) works to ensure research and research environments are equitable and inclusive. Read more about the work we do at CARDIE.
