We are looking for a researcher, whose expertise lies in statistical uncertainty quantification or scientific machine learning, to work with Prof. Richard Wilkinson on an ESPRC funded project entitled “Networks of Cardiovascular Digital Twins (CVD-Net)”. This is a 5-year multi-institutional project with Imperial College, the University of Sheffield, and the Alan Turing Institute, employing 7 postdocs.
The central aim of the project is revolutionise healthcare by harnessing the power of digital twin (DT) technology. Patient DTs are virtual replicas that continuously assimilate patient data into sophisticated mathematical models to provide personalised predictions and inform clinical decisions. This role will focus on developing the statistical/machine learning methodology necessary to create and update models in real time, using clinical data. The focus is on Bayesian methods that are robust, fast, and scalable, and we will work with the other institutions to create a complete workflow from data collection to predictions that can be used in the clinic. The position offers the opportunity to work on cutting edge machine learning methodolgy that will have real world impact.
We believe that talented and inclusive teams deliver the highest quality research and are seeking applications from high quality candidates who enhance the diversity of our existing team. The School is committed to creating opportunities for people traditionally under-represented in Mathematical Sciences and strives to maintain an environment where people can be their authentic selves.
