       CASE PhD studentship in clinical decision support

            Department of Mathematical Sciences
                   University of Durham

Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded CASE PhD studentship in
the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Durham.
The studentship is in collaboration with E-Tech limited, Sheffield,
(www.e-orthopaedics.com) and supported by the Smith Institute
(http://www.smithinst.ac.uk/).

The research concerns the development of statistical tools and methods
to support clinical decision-making, especially in the area of
prosthetic surgery. The methods include the distillation of
multivariate data on decisions and outcomes into clinically useful
formats, the identification and use of patterns within the data, for
example to help clinicians better understand the interplay of the
various factors, and the development of Bayesian methods to examine
the relationships between patient outcomes and previous diagnostic
judgements, in order to understand and improve the clinician's
decision processes. The focus of the research is applied and practical.

The studentship is open to UK citizens and other UK/EU residents
covered by EPSRC eligibility guidelines
(http://www.epsrc.ac.uk). Candidates must have, or expect to obtain
shortly, at least a II(i) honours degree in Statistics or Mathematics,
or an equivalent qualification, and must have some training in
multivariate statistics.

The studentship will be for three years and will include full fees,
EPSRC maintenance grant (presently £7,500 per annum, under review) and
a further top-up grant (presently £3,000 per annum). The student will
be provided with a laptop computer by the company. Further, with the
agreement of the student, the company may be able to offer further
fees for small episodes of paid work, related to the studentship. Any
such extra work will be subject to the standard terms and conditions
of an EPSRC CASE studentship.

The preferred start date is March 1st 2002. For an exceptional
candidate, the start date may be deferred to October 1st
2002. Enquiries may be made to the Postgraduate Admissions Tutor,
Dr. Frank Coolen (email: [log in to unmask], tel: 01913743022),
or directly to the PhD supervisor, David Wooff (email:
[log in to unmask], tel: 01913744531).

Candidates should apply for admission using the University's standard
application form, available from
http://www.dur.ac.uk/postgrad/pg_form.htm
or on request from the Admissions Tutor.
