PhD Studentship in Statistical Methods for Medical Image Analysis at University College London (UCL)
Closing Date: 15 Jun 2015
Studentship Start Date: 28 Sep 2015
Applications are invited for a PhD funding opportunity offered jointly by the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, UCL and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. The studentship will commence in September 2015 and is based both at A*STAR and the UCL Department of Statistical Science.
This project aims to develop innovative statistical methods for medical image analysis, with applications to automated segmentation and classification of images for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Students with interests in statistics, image analysis and pattern recognition are strongly encouraged to apply. Informal enquiries to Dr Jinghao Xue (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/statistics/people/jinghaoxue) are welcome.
The requirement for admission to the MPhil/PhD in Statistical Science is a 1st class or high upper 2nd class Bachelor’s degree, or a Master’s degree with merit or distinction in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative discipline. Overseas qualifications of an equivalent standard are also acceptable. Further details can be found on the Departmental website.
The studentship is 3.5 years in duration with year 1 spent at UCL, years 2 and 3 at A*STAR, and a final writing-up period of 6 months at UCL. The award covers tuition fees plus a maintenance stipend (15,863 GBP pro rata in years 1 and 4, during years 2 and 3, the student will receive a full stipend direct from A*STAR). This studentship may only be awarded to applicants liable to pay tuition fees at the UK/EU rate (i.e. it cannot be used to part-cover overseas tuition fees). The procedure for determining one’s tuition fee status is outlined on the UCL website.
