URGENT – Fully funded five-month research internship in digital health available immediately in the School of Computing at the Open University.
A fully funded place for a five-month Research Intern is immediately available at the School of Computing at the Open University. Stipend is pro-rata equivalent to basic RCUK PhD grant. You must be an EU, EEA, or UK National. Prospective research interns could be excellent final year undergraduates, Masters students, or PhD students, or could have recently completed any of these awards. The post is available immediately, but in any case you must be available to start by 15th March 2017.
We are interested in candidates with good programming skills, especially on platforms such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Experience of Python would be an asset, as would experience of working with external digital and analogue sensors and actuators. The project involves designing and building digital health prototypes. No medical knowledge or experience is required.
You will have the opportunity to contribute as co-author to research publications, if you wish. These may have the potential to change practice at hospitals in the UK and wider afield.
This research internship is available to start immediately and will run for five months. You will be based at the Open University Campus in Milton Keynes.
Applications should include a CV with contact details and covering note that summarizes:
• evidence of appropriate knowledge, skills and experience,
• why you want to undertake this particular internship and why you would be a good candidate,
• telephone, email and postal contact details for two referees, at least one of whom must be able to comment on subject discipline specifics.
This is an opportunity to gain experience in a digital health research project in the School of Computing.
