Fully Funded PhD Opportunity in Advancing ECG Interpretation with Human-Centred Multi-modal AI
Apply for a fully funded PhD position in Advancing ECG Interpretation with Human-Centred Multi-modal AI at the University of Sheffield, UK. Develop expertise in signal processing, machine learning, computer vision, AI, and large language models applied to cardiac care. Apply now!
Project Description
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major global health concern, and electrocardiograms (ECGs) have significant diagnostic potential. However, their underutilization and the average interpretation accuracy of physicians being just 54% highlight the need for improvement. This PhD project aims to address these challenges using Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI).
Funding Details
This EPSRC-funded project offers a full tuition fee waiver for UK and overseas students, a UKRI stipend of £19,237 per annum for 3.5 years, and a £4500 Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) for research enhancement.
Candidate Requirements
Candidates should be self-motivated, have a good first degree in a relevant field, experiences with AI for healthcare projects, strong programming skills, excellent oral and written communication skills, and strong problem-solving abilities. If English is not your first language, you must have an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in each component.
