About
This four-year studentship is funded by Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute and includes full funding for University fees and an index-linked stipend starting at £22,894 per annum for four years.
Supervisor Dr Hamid Raza Ali wishes to recruit a student to work on the project entitled: “Discovery of rational therapeutic biomarkers in breast cancer by systems pathology and deep learning”. Applications are invited from graduates in quantitative disciplines such as computer science, AI, and mathematics, but we also encourage applications from biologists and clinicians already experienced in computational methods.
We welcome applications from both UK and overseas students.
