Vantaggi offerti da questo lavoro

Tuition fees covered

Maintenance stipend

Descrizione del lavoro

Richard Elphick Studentship at Trinity College, Cambridge offers a fully funded PhD research opportunity in Oncology. The project investigates progression risks in Barrett's oesophagus using a Markov multistate model and large multicentre datasets, under Professors Rebecca Fitzgerald and Nora Pashayan.

The research aims to quantify cancer risk and personalise surveillance, with microsimulation to compare strategies and translate findings into a decision-support tool for clinicians.

Competenze

• Applications are welcomed from UK and Overseas candidates who meet the entry requirements for the PhD in Oncology.

Mansioni

• Conduct research on modelling progression risks in Barrett's oesophagus using large multicentre datasets.
• Develop a Markov multistate model to estimate transition risks and personalize surveillance intervals.
• Apply microsimulation to compare fixed and risk-based surveillance strategies and support clinical decision tools.
