      EPSRC CASE Research Studentship in Intelligent Data Analysis


Applications are invited for an EPSRC CASE PhD studentship in Intelligent 
Data Analysis (IDA) tenable at the Department of Computer Science, Birkbeck 
College. The successful candidate will be expected to work on a joint research 
project with Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in collaboration with the
Institute of Ophthalmology. The project "Improving Glaucoma Service by 
Intelligent Data Analysis" is to start from 1 October 1996 for three years 
and is also funded by a research grant from the Moorfields Eye Hospital.

The IDA Group at Birkbeck specialises in the application of computationally 
intelligent techniques to data analysis problems. The group has been working 
with several external organisations in medicine and industry on a variety of
IDA research projects, funded by government agencies, industrial sponsorships 
and charity organisations. This current project follows on from a highly 
successful three-year collaboration with the above-mentioned two organisations 
on a project entitled "METRO: Making Eye Test Reliable for Ophthalmologists". 
Exciting research results have been generated and software developed within 
the project has been effectively used in a large-scale field investigation 
and is being further tested in general practitioners' clinics. 

Applicants should have or expect to gain at least a 2(i) in Computer Science, 
or an equivalent MSc, and have a good background in Artificial Intelligence, 
Databases, or Statistics. Please submit a CV as soon as possible, but not 
later than 15 June 1996, to Dr X Liu, Department of Computer Science, Birkbeck 
College, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, UK. Telephone Dr Liu on 
(+44) 171-631 6711 or email him (hui@dcs.bbk.ac.uk) if you wish to make an 
informal enquiry.
