Declaration of interest regarding PhD project: Improving evidence-based healthcare using artificial intelligence

The Research Unit for Oncology at SDU’s Department of Clinical Research would like to invite highly qualified graduates from all over the world to apply for this PhD position in radiotherapy clinical trials. The PhD student will be based at Odense University Hospital (OUH) starting as soon as possible and preferably before the end of 2022. The Danish Cancer Society and Novo support the project.

Research environment

The successful candidate’s office will be in the Laboratory of Radiation Physics, Department of Oncology at OUH. The candidate will work in a multi-disciplinary environment with medical physicists, computer scientists, medical doctors and specialised radiotherapy staff and collaborate with oncologists and medical physicists from all six Danish head and neck cancer (DAHANCA) centres.

The department has an active research environment with PhD students, associate professors and full professors. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the DAHANCA quality assurance group and external collaborators.

Project description

Radiotherapy is given to approximately 50% of all cancer patients. The treatment relies on the interdisciplinary knowledge of radiobiology, medical physics and data science. All treatment decisions aim to be evidence-based, meaning trials have shown this treatment to be the best option. However, this is not trivial to ensure that the trial results are robust and generalisable.

The PhD project revolves around ongoing randomised clinical trials within DAHANCA and eye cancer treatment, where the aim is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to identify suboptimal treatment plans. The project will work on existing data to develop tools that can be used to validate patient treatments before the treatment starts. The AI models will look at the segmentation of medical images on both CT and MR, and develop an algorithm for dose prediction for x-rays and protons.

The candidate will start the project by formulating the project description and will have a large degree of freedom based on knowledge and interests.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will hold a master’s degree in physics, engineering, data science or related fields. Prior knowledge of clinical trials, radiotherapy, image processing and/or AI will be of high interest, and programming skills with, e.g. Matlab or python will be useful.

Fluency in English (oral and written)
