A range of 3-year fully funded PhD studentships in Health Informatics, Statistics and Genetics

To commence October 2018

We are seeking outstanding applicants with backgrounds in mathematics; computer science; data science; applied and health statistics; machine and deep learning; natural language processing; text analytics; to join one of a number of health informatics and statistical genetics research teams working at the cutting edge of translational research in mental health and neuroscience at King’s College London.

These awards are funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) through the Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London (KCL). Our aim is to pioneer multidisciplinary translational research and experimental medicine in the areas of mental health and neuroscience.

To achieve this we select the best students and provide them with excellent training, tailored flexibly to their individual needs and interests. We will equip them with the intellectual and technical skills that are needed for the future of translational research, and complement this with key transferable skills (including public engagement, business development and entrepreneurship) to ensure that they emerge as well-rounded scientists, prepared for their next career stage. Our excellent clinical setting will ensure all students benefit from an understanding of the context of research, and produce scientists with a strong translational ethos.
