An exciting non-clinical PhD opportunity at the NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) is open for applications. The NIHR GOSH BRC Applied Child Health and Informatics (ACHI) PhD Studentship Programme aims to fund two highly motivated non-clinical Health Data Science PhD studentships to support the training and development of the next generation of informatics and data science translational researchers. The full-time studentships will begin on 1 October 2024 and be based at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (ICH). The studentship offers a starting stipend of £21,181 per annum (includes London weighting) as well as the cost of tuition fees for UK students, and £5,000 contribution towards the running costs of their project. We will support two students, one in the area of health data science/epidemiology/statistics and the other specialising in applied machine learning and informatics.
The closing date for submission of applications is Wednesday 15 May 2024. Please see our webpage for more details and how to apply: NIHR GOSH BRC Applied Child Health Informatics Theme (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships 2024
