Healthcare Data Science studentship (OxPOS)

We are offering a fully-funded studentship on the Oxford EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in association with the OxPOS (Oxford Precision Oncology for Sarcoma) project. OxPOS have been working with Roche Diagnostics to explore whether new DNA and RNA sequencing, new analyses for medical imaging, and new technologies for the integration and analysis of multi-modal data can deliver measurable improvements in care.

After completing an initial programme of intensive training, you will develop a research project in the area of cancer diagnostics and/or treatment.  This could involve machine learning, large language models, or statistical analysis applied to any kind of healthcare data: free text reports, test results, medical imaging, digital pathology, or genomics.  As part of your work you will undertake an analysis of the data already acquired for OxPOS.

Additional support will be provided by the Oxford-based Thames Valley and Surrey NHS Secure Data Environment (SDE).  You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the UK's most advanced NHS SDE, enabling data-driven translational research and improvements in patient management and care delivery.  Professor Jim Davies (Computer Science) and Professor Eva Morris (Population Health) will be part of your supervisory team.
