PhD Opportunity: Optimising Allocation Ratios in Platform Trials
PhD opportunity on optimising allocation ratios in platform trials using simulation and stochastic modelling. Apply by visiting the FindAPhD website.
A PhD opportunity is available for worldwide applicants to work on methodology for innovative clinical trials. The topic is ‘Optimising allocation ratios in platform trials: role of simulation’. The project will be supervised by a strong advisory team from Glasgow, Sydney, and Lancaster.
Key areas of focus include:
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Stochastic modelling and optimisation
- Response-adaptive randomisation, Thompson sampling, multi-armed bandits, and dynamic programming
- Real-life implementation using the R package SIMPLE
