Lecturer in Health Psychology , Senior Tutor and Director of Student Support for Psychology, Deputy Director of the Pain Research Laboratory

Dr Daniel Schoth is Lecturer in Health Psychology within Psychology at the University of Southampton.

I have been a member of the University of Southampton and based in the School of Psychology since 2005, when I enrolled on and graduated the MSc in Health Psychology programme.  It was during my MSc that I began my research into chronic pain, with a specific focus upon attentional processes in individuals with chronic headache. Working with my Doctorate Supervisor Prof. Christina Liossi, I continued and expanded this line of investigation on my subsequent PhD, which I successfully completed in January 2011. Following my PhD I completed two postdoctoral research positions, one here at the University of Southampton using eye-tracking to further explore the time-course and complexities of pain-related attentional biases, and the other at University College London exploring biomechanical, sensory and psychosocial factors associated with pain in children with benign joint hypermobility. I was appointed as Lecturer in 2012 in the School of Psychology, and am responsible for coordinating and teaching on numerous undergraduate and postgraduate modules, while significantly expanding my research into chronic pain as Deputy Director of the Pain Research Laboratory in the School of Psychology.
