About the Project
GREAT NEW OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE A PHD, COMBINING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND HEALTH SCIENCES
I am glad to announce 1 Researcher position available in ITACA Institute (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain), in the scope of PersonalizeAF Innovative Training Network (ITN), funded by the European Comission’s H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme.
This position will allow the Early Stage Researchers to enroll in the “Technologies for Health and Wellbeing” PhD Programme at Universitat Politècnica de València. The researcher will be able to complement the research activity and academic training with international and intersectorial secondments, workshops and summer schools.
This research will be focused in Technologies for atrial state characterization, Technologies for atrial fibrillation treatment and Decision Support platforms for patient management, starting the 1st of July 2020 for a period of 36 months.
Gross salary of the position will be around 2600 €.
About the position:
ESR15: “Multiparametric atrial fibrillation stratification”
Objectives: Current management of AF patients is based on patient’s symptoms and risk factors, but not on the evaluation of the atrial structural or functional state. The objective of this project is to propose a stratification criterion to select the best therapeutic option in each individual patient that incorporates atrial-specific markers in the decision-making protocol. we will use machine learning methods (including incremental online-learning) to identify sub-phenotypes of AF that are associated with better response to each AF therapy
Expected Results: We will first develop a software package for incorporating atrial-specific markers to the currently considered risk factors to predict success of the different therapeutic approaches employed in AF management. As a result, we will develop a decision-making algorithm to help selecting the best therapeutic option in an individual patient basis and taking into account gender related characteristics that accounts for the patient’s specific atrial substrate.
Required background: Master’s in Electrical/Biomedical engineering, Computing or related.
