PhD Opportunity: AI for Autonomy in Surgical Interventions

Fully funded PhD studentship in AI-enabled robotics for surgical interventions at the University of Edinburgh

We are recruiting for a fully funded PhD studentship in the area of AI-enabled robotics for surgical interventions at the University of Edinburgh.

The project will be situated within the Centre for AI for Assistive Autonomy, a mission-driven research centre established using a UKRI Turing AI World Leading Researcher Fellowship.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in quantitative methods and computer programming, with a UK 2:1 honours degree or its international equivalent in robotics, artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, or a related area.

  • Learning cross-modal generative models from data recorded during surgical procedures
  • Learning of and with simulators, including potential connections with current methods for surgical simulators
  • Developing methods for fine-grained skill quantification, mapping environmental and movement related features to higher level attributes

Interested candidates should send an email with their CV to caa-phd-recruitment@ed.ac.uk and follow the instructions on the web page to complete the formal application.
