BACKGROUND

The Health and Medical Sciences Programme at Turing delivers research into the theory and methods of AI, statistics, and data analytics underpinning medical and health applications.

The Alan Turing Institute and Roche have recently launched a programme which will establish a world-leading industry and academic partnership in advanced analytics focused on enabling the transformative benefits of personalized healthcare to become a reality for patients around the world.

This strategic partnership will cover multiple activities, with the "North Star" of developing new data science methods to investigate large, complex, clinical and healthcare datasets to better understand how and why patients respond differently to treatment, and how treatment can be improved.

The successful candidates will have a PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant area such as Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science or related discipline.

We are seeking applicants who have knowledge of a wide range of statistical and/or deep learning methods used to model complex data, as well as knowledge of the area of missing data and methodology to address missing data problems. Knowledge and expertise in computation statistics or experience of applying deep learning with knowledge of the underlying theory is also beneficial. The ideal candidate will have excellent computational skills with the statitstical software R or Python.

DUTIES AND AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
