Scholarship Description:
PhD Project with Gordon McLaren Scholarship: Applying Machine Learning Algorithms to Improve Diagnosis of Middle Ear Disorders in Children
The project builds upon an ongoing UWA pilot study, focusing on improving the accuracy, precision, and time-to-diagnosis of middle ear disorders in children. The computational approach may involve statistical analysis, machine learning, or deep learning. The goal is to alleviate the economic burden and frustration caused by delayed audiological care.
Eligibility: The ideal candidate holds a science-based bachelor’s degree with first-class honours or equivalent. Strong academic background in computational health sciences, machine learning, or related fields is highly desired. Both domestic and international students are eligible to apply.
Required Documents: Applicants must submit a cover letter, academic transcript, and a brief CV containing contact details to Dr. Robyn Choi (robyn.choi@uwa.edu.au) or Dr. Christopher Gonzalez (chris.gonzalez@uwa.edu.au).
How to Apply: Email the required documents directly to the specified email addresses. For course application details, contact GRS Applications (email applications-grs@uwa.edu.au).
Last Date: The application deadline is 26 February 2024. Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and benefit from the Gordon McLaren Scholarship.
