PhD Position in Neuroblastoma
This project is at the interface between traditional mathematical modelling and modern machine learning in the context of cancer biology. It aims to build a theoretical framework to understand cancer progression in an environment with more than two drugs by combining evolutionary game theory, population dynamics, and agent-based modelling.
Scholarship Application Procedure
Submit a personal statement to the University when applying for this scholarship position. Find out more about writing a personal statement.
Your personal statement for this application should include:
- What motivates you to pursue PhD study
- Why you are interested in the field of data science and artificial intelligence
- How your skill set matches the requirements for your choice of project and/or any additional training you will need
- The wider significance of research in this area and potential future research directions for the project.
Scholarship Funding Value
Successful applicants of this offer receive a fee waiver and a maintenance grant/stipend for four years (full-time), this will cover the research period of the PhD and weekly teaching commitments, spread over four years.
The fee waiver for 23/24 is £4,712 (Home fee)/16,250 (international fee) and the maintenance grant is £18,622 per annum. This rises each year in line with the UKRI’s recommended stipend allowance.

PhD Position in Machine Learning Algorithms
This PhD will investigate whether AI can be used to predict intracranial bleeding risk in brain cancer patients on anticoagulants. The student will explore whether a detailed collection/characterisation of patient demographic data and quantification of tumour characteristics/signatures measured by Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) studies, can be used in predictive models.

Association of Von Willebrand Factor Genetic Variation and Levels with Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes
This project aims to investigate the role that natural variation in VWF levels has in determining CVD risk, focusing specifically on clinical outcomes in a large multi-centre ACS patient cohort.
Key objectives will:
1) Identify VWF variants and variant haplotypes that significantly influence VWF levels and perform analyses in vitro to verify associations and determine the biological mechanisms involved.
2) Investigate validated associations in ACS patients, determining how VWF levels relate to their clinical outcomes following treatment.
Scholarship Application Procedure
Apply by submitting a personal statement when applying for this scholarship position. Find out more about writing a personal statement. Please also ensure you include the following information:
- What motivates you to pursue PhD study
- Why you are interested in this project
- How your skill set matches the requirements for your choice of project and/or any additional training you will need
- The wider significance of research in this area and potential future research directions for the project.
Applications to this program are made via the University of York website. Please select the January 2024 intake and state as part of your application that you wish to be considered for this scholarship.
