Studentships
Development and use of new and derived data to facilitate the optimisation and evaluation of breast screening AI tools
Funding information:
The studentship is fully funded by University of Surrey Stipend: £15,609/year plus living allowance top up of £2,200/year (Total: £17,809/year) The studentship also covers the tuition fee at the home rate (£4,500/year) and additional funds are available for training, and travel costs for visits to NPL, other project partners and academic conferences.Assessing the reliability of AI for predicting the risk of breast cancer
