HDR UK/Turing PhD Programme in Health Data Science

This four-year PhD programme in Health Data Science, led by Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and supported by the Wellcome Trust, includes one year of foundational training followed by a three-year thesis project.

The programme is a collaboration between HDR UK, The Alan Turing Institute and seven partner universities: the Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford, University College London, and Queen's University Belfast.

The programme's underlying philosophy is that health data science requires a combination of expertise spanning three fundamental areas: statistical, computational and health sciences.

We wish to recruit graduates from the mathematical, statistical and computational sciences who are motivated to further develop and apply their methodological expertise within a multidisciplinary health research setting.

Studentships offer the following:

• tax-free stipend;
• PhD registration fees at the UK student rate (and college fees where required);
• research expenses and travel costs;
• significant support for training and help to transition to the next step of your career at the end of your PhD.

How to apply

The application deadline is Monday 11 December 2023.
