2 Clinical Research Fellows at University of Leeds

A team of clinical academics, working within the Leeds Cancer Centre (Prof Geoff Hall, Prof Andy Scarsbrook and Dr Nic Orsi) and with colleagues from the School of Computing at the University of Leeds, have established a 4-5 year programme to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop a deeper understanding of ovarian cancer.

A major component of this this funding will support the training of clinical trainees who wish to develop expertise in these exciting new approaches to the analysis of healthcare data.

The successful applicants will become members of the Leeds Cancer Research Centre (LCRC), a partnership between the University and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust which aims to bring together outstanding scientists and clinicians across discipline boundaries to deliver world-leading cancer research that ultimately improves patient outcomes.

The successful applicants will also become Associate Fellows of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Artificial Intelligence for Medical Diagnosis and Care at the University of Leeds, working with more than 30 other students working towards a PhD within this domain.

The posts will support 3 years of full-time academic study towards a PhD. A fourth year of funding will be provided to support ongoing clinical academic training following successful completion of the PhD and ideally to support applications for ongoing funding of a clinical academic career.
