DIGITAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL IMAGING

Technical Fluency in Medical Imaging

Medical imaging is some of the most advanced technologies in healthcare, yet evidence has shown that the workforce finds it difficult to keep up with the fast pace of the introduction of this technology, especially in recent years. The introduction of AI and the disconnect between acquisition and image presentation due to the improvement in data and system capabilities has led to a risk in terms of data optimisation and radiation protection.

We are looking for candidates to evaluate the most advanced image acquisition technologies, we have projects available in most imaging modalities (CT, general, mammography and ultrasound), both quantitative and qualitative projects. Projects could involve evaluating the technology itself, the impact on workflow, staff, and/or patients.

For further information please contact Dr Katy Szczepura  ( [email protected] )

Does a conspicuity index threshold exist for focal lesions in DICOM images?

Software has been developed at the University that measures the  Conspicuity Index of Lesions .

Research suggests that measuring the conspicuity index (C.I.) of focal lesions within an image is more reflective of a clinical reader’s ability to perceive focal lesions than traditional physical measures such as contrast to noise (CNR) and signal to noise ratio (SNR). This Software has been validated to calculate the C.I. in DICOM images, however this work is currently limited in terms of its lack of evidence of correlation with observer performance measures.

We are looking for a candidate who could undertake a human observer study in any imaging modality which is used to diagnose focal lesions, those with computer programming skills would be an advantage. The project would involve validating and/or adapting the conspicuity index software.

Challenges and solutions for digital health

Digital transformation of health remains a priority for UK policy and strategy. However, successful implementation faces several challenges, including organizational knowledge and the assessment of digital readiness, strategic development and onboarding, as well as long-term engagement and sustainability. We are actively seeking candidates to contribute to a comprehensive body of work addressing these challenges and proposing effective solutions. Our expertise lies in understanding the dynamics of digital use/non-use, digital readiness, engagement strategies, and the process of digitizing care in a digital society 

For further information please contact Professor Alison Brettle  ( [email protected] ) or  Dr Cristina Vasilica  ( [email protected] )

Information and knowledge within healthcare

Healthcare is a knowledge industry and to implement successful change, introduce technical innovation and improve quality of care, health organisations need to successfully manage information, evidence and knowledge. Whilst patients need to understand and have easy access to information to better mange their own health.  We are seeking candidates who wish to explore how information, knowledge or evidence can contribute to improved health and health services.

For further information please contact:  Professor Alison Brettle  ( [email protected] )

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) was originally developed by Professor Paul Gilbert to help people with high levels of shame and self-criticism. Compassionate mind interventions can help people develop compassion for themselves, be open to the compassion of others and develop compassion for others. There is increasing evidence that suggests that cultivating compassion for oneself and others can have a profound impact on our physiological, psychological, and social processes. Whilst CFT and CMT have shown promising results in both reducing distress and increasing wellbeing, to date there have been few ways for people to access these outside of accessing therapy or using a self-help book. Research suggests that self-guided, smart phone apps may help in reducing symptoms associated with psychological distress. Mobile technology could potentially play a role in helping support people cultivate self-compassion, reduce self-criticism and boost wellbeing. We are looking for candidates to build a body of work to support people’s ability to cultivate compassion via use of The Self-Compassion App or via a virtual reality programme.

Care Across the Lifecourse

Tissue Viability

The NHS manages 3.8 million patients with a wound each year, which is equivalent to 7% of the adult population. The economic, clinical, and social impact of wounds continues to rise and requires a structured approach to wound care, education, and related research. 

We are looking for candidates to evaluate practices and technologies to advance the assessment, prevention and management of patients who are at risk of or present with wounds. Projects will include measurement of the impact on both patients and staff. 

For further information please contact Dr Melanie Stephens ( [email protected] )

Surgical and New Technologies   

The 21st century surgical world is immersed with new technologies and innovations to improve patient care. New technologies require hand and eye co-ordination and surgical skills development. There is an abundance of patient data available on the perioperative area which can be analysed to improve patient care.  

We are looking for candidates to evaluate new technologies and innovations in surgery (e.g. keyhole surgeries, robotics, virtual reality, simulation). Any surgical database, cohort studies project which includes surgical assessment, prevention and management of patients undergoing any type of surgery. In addition, we would like projects focusing on sustainability in the perioperative area, mental health and wellbeing of patients and staff to reduce the anxiety and stress.      

If you have any interesting projects on surgical perioperative area, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Bhuvaneswari Bibleraaj ( [email protected] )

LONG TERM CONDITIONS

Long-term conditions are increasingly prevalent, both in the UK and globally.  Many people live for many years with a LTC, creating new opportunities and challenges for knowledge and research. Research conducted within this theme aims to improve people’s ability to manage their long-term conditions and improve their quality of life as well as reducing demand on health and social services. We are looking for candidates to build up a body of work to support people’s ability to self-manage their long-term condition.

For further information please contact  Professor Paula Ormandy  ( [email protected] )

Digital technologies and social media have the potential to support people with long-term-conditions in self-managing their illness and leading a more fulfilling life.  Our multi-disciplinary research in this area has already demonstrated considerable impact on patient’s with chronic kidney disease and we have begun to examine if these principles can be transferred to MS.   We are looking for candidates to add to this body of evidence, either with these or other long-term-conditions.

Mental Health and Neurodiversity

To function well in society, people need to have good cognitive health, yet we know our cognitive abilities, such as our memory and attention abilities, underpinned by executive functions, can be adversely affected by life events. We are looking for candidates interested in investigating these cognitive abilities and are open to supervising projects investigating how social, emotional, environmental and developmental (including aging) factors can affect individuals’ cognitive abilities.

Please contact Dr Samantha Gregory ( [email protected] ) or Dr Robert Bendall ( [email protected] ) to find out more or discuss ideas.

We welcome candidates interested in exploring Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in the criminal justice system (e.g., offending behaviours; police investigative interviews; court; prison; secure care).

For further information please contact: Professor Clare Allely ( [email protected] ) or Dr David Gilbert ( [email protected] ).  

The early years provide the foundations for healthy development across the lifespan, and understanding the impact of digital media on children’s development is essential. We welcome candidates interested in child development in the digital age, parenting or teaching in the digital age, or the impact of digital media on neurodiverse children and young people (e.g., Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder).

For further information please contact Dr Gemma Taylor ( [email protected] )

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing need for mental health services to support children and young people (CYP). The pandemic resulted in a greater number of CYP presenting with mental health disorders, often in crisis and with complex needs requiring acute or intensive care within paediatric medical, CAMHS inpatient or inappropriately placed in adult services. A range of recent research studies and government-commissioned reports have laid out the nature and extent of the challenges facing children and young people and families, and organisations and staff trying to provide care for them. The government and NHS England have made transforming child mental health services a priority for UK policy and strategy. What is needed now is a generation of practice-based evidence and innovation to respond to these pressing challenges. We are actively seeking candidates to contribute to a comprehensive body of work addressing the range of challenges in the field of child and adolescent mental health and proposing effective solutions.

Research Fields

The Doctorate in Politics and International Affairs specializes in the following four fields of research:

International Relations In the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies, the International Relations (IR) faculty focuses on four areas of study: international relations theory, global political economy, international security, and human rights. We stress the importance of cutting-edge scholarship in our teaching of the graduate seminars as well as bridging the many emergent gaps in theory and practice in the various subfields that comprise International Relations, including American foreign policy, international ethics, global governance, and international law and organizations. One of our central aims is to advance innovative applications of the central theoretical perspectives (and their variant strands) in International Relations, namely, realism, liberalism, critical theory, constructivism, Marxism, international political theory, and gender. These applications involve in-depth theoretical and empirical analysis of key global issues, such as Asian security, moral accountability, the enforcement of human rights, immigration, and political and economic inequality. The International Relations faculty have published numerous books and peer-reviewed articles on these issue areas. These include monographs on the political tensions on the Korean Peninsula or North Korea’s nuclear arms buildup, the political cosmopolitan character and shifting dynamics of the International Criminal Court (ICC), hegemony and inequality in the global political economy, and China’s rapidly increasing support of intervention in African states. Together our published research emphasizes the production of critical theoretic knowledge, or the advanced methodological analysis of the contradictions and tensions informing the substantive debates in International Relations. This not only requires the particular mastery of concepts, methods, and claims but also an open-ended and historical understanding of the changing social forces shaping the behavior of states and the relations among global and local actors. It is this scholarly approach that we adopt to train our graduate students specializing in international relations, particularly as they advance their dissertation research and empirical knowledge of the global and regional contexts of problems and issues. One of the outcomes we strive for, then, is to encourage our doctoral students to develop rigorous theoretical and contextual analysis from which they can devise solutions and prescriptions to global issues.

Comparative Politics Comparative Politics in the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies is committed to theory-driven, empirical research from an interdisciplinary perspective that is situated in a political, historical, cultural, and economic context.  The Comparative Politics faculty employ a variety of methodological approaches from both the social sciences and humanities, which utilize qualitative and quantitative research methods to study the patterns of similarities and differences. In particular, we conduct comparative and case study research to inquire into these patterns and to develop our theoretical propositions. One of our aims is to produce knowledge about the changing social, political, and legal conditions affecting the lives, development, cultural practices, and customs of underrepresented peoples. In meeting this aim, our research focuses on several themes of comparative politics, including social movements, democracy/democratization, citizenship, decolonization, genocide, hegemony, race and identity, development, legal systems and customary law, social justice, and indigenismo or the political ideology focusing on the changing relations of state and local peoples. Much of our published research draws creatively on social, critical, and political theory to advance knowledge of the laws, changing social relations, and attitudes in several countries, which includes Brazil, Ecuador, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Iran. Our research strengths lie in the areas of race and citizenship, social movements theory, human security and law (or legal custom) in Eastern Africa, indigenous rights in various Latin American countries, and security relations in the Middle East. With these thematic foci, we encourage graduate students to create and develop their own research by selecting a region of the world as their emphasis and adopting theoretically informed research and comparative methods that allow them to analyze the changing social and political conditions in the countries of this region.

American Politics The study of American Politics in the doctorate program in politics and international affairs provides a comprehensive overview as well as an in-depth analysis of American politics. Our faculty focus on various aspects of American politics, including theoretical foundations, federalism, institutions (Congress, the executive branch, the bureaucracy, the judiciary), political behavior (political parties, the media, interest groups, social movements, and elections), and public policy (foreign and domestic), and employ a range of methodological approaches such as historical development, legal doctrine, institutional rules, and quantitative analyses of the behavior of political actors and the mass public, to advance the student's research skills.  Our core class, Seminar in American Politics, for instance, surveys the key foundations, institutions, and behavior in American politics, introducing students to both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches for analyzing and testing the changing trends and outcomes in American politics. Special topics courses provide opportunities to gain in-depth knowledge on new research on a range of themes, including political development, the social bases of politics, and the global impact of American politics. The faculty in American politics have made important contributions in the areas of race and ethnicity, the judiciary, the presidency, Florida government, civil liberties, health care, environmental justice, economic inequality, and animal rights. Our strengths lie in economic inequality, animal rights, the Presidency, Judicial Behavior, Race and Ethnicity, and State and Local Government. In these specific areas, we have published several cutting-edge books and articles in leading peer-reviewed journals, which examine the emergence and implementation of nonhuman animals' regime of rights, the changing directions of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and its impact on world politics, and alternative strategies for natural disasters in the United States. Our scholarship is thus distinctive for the ways in which it addresses American government and politics in a global context. This is how we seek to train our doctoral students on the rapidly changing, nuanced linkages between local, state, federal and global institutional politics.  

Political Theory Political Theory introduces students to the core normative issues in the study of political science. These normative issues provide the bedrock assumptions on which much of the study of political science depends. For example, while nearly everyone agrees that democracy is the best form of government, why do we place such faith in it? In addition, the long tradition of political thought offers multiple versions of democracy, each with its own strengths and limitations. How are we to identify the best version for our needs? Similarly, while we might extol non-violence in politics, is it always the best path for political movements? How are we to justify its alternatives? Clarifying our moral commitments, sharpening our conceptual tools, and outlining pathways for transforming theoretical knowledge into action requires philosophical, historical, and conceptual capabilities. The political theory faculty at the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies trains students to develop these capabilities. To that end, political theory classes not only familiarize students with many of the canonical texts that were read by generations of prominent political thinkers (from Aristotle to Martin Luther King Jr), they also teach students to read these texts critically and with an eye towards contemporary political developments. As such, training in political theory is a critical supplement to graduate work at School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies. The faculty’s expertise in feminist theory, postcolonial theory, the role of emotions in politics, environmental political thought, and Indian political thought complements the terminal degrees offered in American Politics, Comparative Politics, and International Relations.

Financial Assistance 

Most of our successful applicants qualify for funding offered by the department or the Office of Graduate Studies. Funded doctoral students will receive a graduate assistantship that includes:

• a stipend for the academic year (9 months)
• a tuition waiver (not including school fees)
• the option of health insurance mostly paid by the department (the student only pays a small amount towards insurance).

All applicants for the doctoral degree are considered for a graduate assistantship - they do not need to complete a separate form.

The graduate assistantship is guaranteed for four years but is based on maintaining satisfactory annual academic progress. It requires each student to work 20 hours per week, in which case the student would be first assisting professors of the department with their teaching and class preparations and later, after having passed the doctoral comprehensive exams and completed teacher training seminars, teach a class at the University of South Florida. 

Please visit the graduate assistantships page for further information. The department also provides funding for conference travel or the presentation of research at conferences upon approval.

Information on eligibility for graduate assistantships can be found on the Graduate Assistantships Resource Center website. 

We also strive to fund our students in the fifth year, though this funding is not guaranteed. Depending on additional funds that become available, students may have the opportunity to extend their graduate assistantship to one, possibly two academic semesters. Students in the fifth year are also encouraged to seek external funding. For more information on this, please consult our Graduate Resources Page .

Outstanding candidates may also be nominated by the school’s director and/or graduate committee for prestigious and highly competitive university fellowships, including the Presidential Doctoral Fellowship , the Dorothy Auzenne Fellowship , and the University Graduate Fellowship. There is also the opportunity for minority students to be awarded a McKnight Fellowship, which provides annual tuition up to $5,000 for each of three academic years, plus an annual stipend of $12,000. The program also offers travel grants and other forms of financial support. For additional information on this fellowship opportunity, please visit the McKnight Fellowship's informational page.

We talk to BSc Business Management with Marketing student Becky Leigh about her experience studying at Salford Business School . 

Journey to Salford Business School

I chose to Study at the University of Salford because it provided opportunities that other universities did not, such as the possibility of attaining a CIM accredited degree. Although it felt somewhat overwhelming deciding where to study, the passion shown by staff, particularly Dr. Angela Burne, ensured me that this was the university for me.

All About the Course

The Business Management with Marketing involves a varied range of modules, from data analysation to the curation of campaigns with opportunities and support to actualise them. The course has something for everyone, with endless support and prospects for enhancing your CV.

It’s more than just a course; it’s a gateway into a more employable self.

I love the diversity of the modules and that they actually contribute to the development of necessary skills for a job in this industry. Each module allows for creative influences to be recognised, and individuality to shine through, which has helped me to be recognised by the CIM. This course has introduced me to so many possibilities I never knew were achievable. The ability to network is phenomenal, and the work is never boring. I enjoy every aspect of the course.

Employability at Salford Business School

Each assignment clearly defines the skills it enhances so it’s easy to strengthen your CV as you go along, but the entirety of the professional development course was directly applicable to the real world. It even provided tools such as a website full of interview tests which equipped me with the skills to pass that stage in the placement process.

Some staff members at Salford truly care about their students, Michael and Angela spring to mind. The Business School seems daunting and overwhelming, but there is always someone to turn to who cares.

The Best Bits

The highlight for me was the first group assignment, it truly got me out of my shell and introduced me to some of the best people here at Salford. You’ll find yourself surrounded by people who truly want to succeed, and that’s what motivates me every day.

Life after Salford

Once I graduate, I’d like to start my own business for adults who miss the whimsical experience of childhood. I’d love to create a space that rekindles that sort of joy, and I’m planning on taking part in a Launch Cohort to help actualise this dream.

Gsas students shine in 2024 three minute thesis competition.

April 30, 2024

Ayla Cordell | Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

The 2024 Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT) at Brandeis Graduate School of Arts & Sciences was not Will Dahl’s first rodeo. “It took me two tries,” the Molecular and Cell Biology PhD student said. “On my first attempt last year, I missed a line and stood silent for what felt like ages. To be honest, I was terrified!” This year, Will took home the first place prize for the Sciences of $1,000 and the overall win. He credits his success to careful planning, refinement, and lots of practice. He focused on formatting his talk as a story that would resonate with a wide audience: “Every sentence must be calibrated to communicate, and there is no room for asides. The talk converges from broader impacts to the actual thesis.”

Explaining your research in just three minutes is a tall order, but on April 5, the third annual 3MT Competition, founded by the University of Queensland , saw ten GSAS students meet that very task. Marika McCann, Associate Director of Professional Development at GSAS and member of the 3MT team, alongside Associate Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Director of Professional Development Jon Anjaria; Anahita Zare of MRSEC ; and Becky Prigge, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at GSAS, said this about the 2024 competitors: “Our team was very impressed with how hard our students worked and the overall enthusiasm they brought to their talks. The audience learned so much from our students in this short time, including the possibility of early detection of Parkinson’s Disease, the importance of examining circadian rhythms, patterns in Honduran ceramics, and Tamil transfeminine performance in post-war Sri Lanka.”

Under the bright white stage lights and looking out upon an audience of friends, family, members of the Brandeis community, and a panel of five judges, finalists took to the Spingold Theatre stage. While it was certainly nerve-wracking, contestants noted the benefits of presenting in this format.

Manning Zhang, who won first place in the Humanities/Creative Arts/Social Sciences category, said the best moment of the competition was standing on the stage for the final round with rushing adrenaline. Acknowledging that few friends and family know about what she researches in Sociology and Health Policy, she began sharing more with them to understand how different people would react to her research. While this helped her prepare for the competition, it ended up holding deeper meaning for Zhang: “It took me a really long time to pursue my research and say, ‘This is meaningful.’ Getting feedback from people and hearing that they understand what I’m doing is really important to me.”

Victoria Khaghani, a Master’s student in Anthropology who was Runner Up in the Humanities/Creative Arts/Social Sciences category, echoed this sentiment. “You have to push yourself pretty hard to be able to condense your research down. But being able to then present my research to my family and have them say, ‘We finally understand what you’re doing,’ where they can understand the importance of it…that was huge.”

While contestants hoped to teach their audience something about their research, some finished the competition having learned new things about themselves. “I really like speaking in front of people,” Pranav Ojha, a Molecular and Cell Biology PhD student, discovered. “Figuring out what words to say, how to communicate them to inspire care - I enjoyed that process, and I’m coming out of it with different career ideas.” His passion for public speaking was evident - Ojha finished the competition with a total $1,250, after winning both Runner Up in the Sciences and the People’s Choice Award, which is determined through audience vote.

The final round may have showcased three minutes of individual presentation, but 3MT thrives as a collective and collaborative effort. “This is one of the only opportunities GSAS students at Brandeis have to share their research with the overall Brandeis community, outside of their departments,” McCann noted. Zhang (Sociology and Health Policy) even reached out to 2022 winner Emiliano Gutierrez-Popoca (PhD English ‘23), whose talk on Master-Servant Relations in Early Modern Drama led him to the National 3MT competition. Though they come from different disciplines, 3MT provided a platform for shared experience, and Popoca helped Zhang revise her draft for the final round. “I’ve gained a lot of rapport with people I didn’t think I could have rapport with…networking is very precious,” Zhang said. The 3MT community at Brandeis continues to strengthen and grow, and we cannot wait for next year!

About Postgraduate Nursing

Nursing is an essential part of modern medicine, providing the care and attention that all of us may need at some point in our lives. The four main types of Nursing degrees include adult, children, learning disabilities and mental health.

A postgraduate Nursing degree will allow you to specialise within one of these fields or help you move into teaching and research. You’ll usually need an undergraduate Nursing degree as a minimum entry requirement or have qualified to be a nurse via an alternatively route such as a degree apprenticeship. Alternatively, you might have a related degree such as Medicine, Midwifery or Social Care.

There are over 700 nursing postgraduate programmes to choose from including Master’s, postgraduate certificates and postgraduate diplomas. Some unis also offer PhDs.

What to expect

With such a wide variety of courses and specialist areas, specific postgraduate modules will vary enormously. In general terms, a postgraduate qualification will expand your knowledge in your chosen area and help develop practitioner and research skills.

It’s essential to ensure the course you’re interested in is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, (NMC). You may be given the option to study full time, part time or online.

Due to the vocational nature of these postgraduate courses, most graduates use their qualification to progress their career in Nursing. Alternatively, you might use it to go into a related field such as counselling or social work.

UC Clermont welcomes new associate dean

Faculty member brings decades of classroom experience to role.

The University of Cincinnati Clermont College has appointed longtime faculty member Krista Clark, PhD, to associate dean of academic affairs.

Clark has served UC Clermont as a professor of biology for 18 years, including as chair of the college’s Science and Health Department for nine years. In December 2023, Clark stepped into the role of associate dean of academic affairs.

Prior to joining the college, Clark taught courses at Miami University and completed her post-doctoral fellowship in cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

“I have been lucky to work for the last 18 years with amazing people here at UC Clermont,” Clark said. “We have outstanding faculty and staff who work together toward the same goal — to create transformative experiences for our students and demonstrate the incredible educational opportunities that we offer. I am excited to continue to broaden collaborations within our college and across the university.”

Clark earned a bachelor’s degree from DePauw University and completed her PhD in biology at Kansas State University in 2003. Beyond academia, Clark has lived in the Mt. Washington community for the past 20 years along with her husband and three children. Her commitment to education and strategic leadership serves as the focus for her continued work at the college.

“We are excited to have Krista move into the role of chief academic officer for UC Clermont,” said Dean Jeff Bauer. “She has been an integral part of the college for many years, and her knowledge of the sciences combined with academic program development and advancement will help the college navigate the challenges that lie ahead. I look forward to the impact that her leadership will have on students and the college now and in the future.”
