CASE PhD Studentship in Statistical Modelling of Environmental & Health Data for Health Policy
Earth Observation Science Group & Biostatistics Research Group,
University of Leicester, UK
TITLE: The impact of high resolution spatiotemporal environmental data on healthcare decision making at the hospital trust scale
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Developing skills in analysis and synthesis of big data sets from earth observation and health
- Applying statistics to interdisciplinary problems in environment and health with the aim of improving healthcare
- Working with a major industrial partner in healthcare analytics
BACKGROUND:
This CASE studentship will explore statistical, data science, and Earth observation approaches to addressing the
multidimensional problems which must be solved in order to provide meaningful environmentally-driven healthcare
advice at the hospital trust scale. It will apply spatiotemporal data analysis and statistical modelling methods, and
propose approaches for dealing with environmental data in a healthcare informatics system. Air pollution and
meteorological data will be analysed, along with anonymised respiratory health data accessed through approved
channels.
The student will engage with the Population Health Europe team at Cerner UK Ltd. This will enable a highly novel
approach to the science of the PhD, and conducting this research in partnership creates potential for delivering
added value to hospital trusts and their patients
