Submission deadline: 17th February!! The University of Manchester, UK, is seeking highly motivated students from a variety of backgrounds including mathematics, statistics, computer science, biomedical sciences and social sciences to study for PhD studentships in the high impact and fast-moving field of digital health. The projects are part of the Greater Manchester Connected Health City programme. Students will be based at the Health eResearch Centre (https://www.herc.ac.uk/) from the Division of Informatics, Imaging, and Data Sciences.
Connected Health Cities is a government-funded programme that aims to create learning health systems across northern England by harnessing data that is routinely captured by health services, applying advanced data analytics methods, and feeding the results back to clinicians, patients, public health professionals and others in the health service, in order to deliver better outcomes for patients and communities. The Greater Manchester Connected Health City will establish a learning health system across Greater Manchester, enabling the trusted re-use of healthcare data, efficient data preparation and big data analytics, with results implemented and actioned back in the NHS. In order to do this, we work across many groups including healthcare providers and industry to develop an infrastructure that supports data sharing and analysis, public engagement and liaison with governing bodies to define an appropriate ethical and governance framework, development of new methodologies to analyse health data and communication of findings with relevant groups. For more information and full descriptions of the PhD projects, please visit https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/research/funded-programmes/gmchc-studentships/ The submission deadline is Friday 17th February 2017.
