Want to use Artificial Intelligence to solve exciting problems in healthcare?

OneAdvanced is a leading AI healthcare software developer with unparalleled scale, supporting 80% of urgent care services and 70% of primary care services in the UK.

Our products include Electronic Health Records, Clinical Decisions Support, Workflow Management and Online Consultation. These are now powered by our advanced AI systems, reducing workload on NHS staff and improving clinical safety for patients.

We are currently conducting the UK's largest ever evaluation of AI in primary care in collaboration with the University of Manchester and the University of Cambridge, funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student with quantitative and programming experience to take part in a paid 3 or 6-month internship. You will receive experience across the entire machine learning lifecycle through developing and improving AI models, leverage the latest advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), and contribute to making our machine learning engineering (MLOps) practices more robust. You can also expect to work on other aspects of data science such as data analysis and visualisation. By the end of the internship, you will acquire essential skills for data science and AI with experience of working on real-world problems.
