About this position

PhD opportunity at Queen's University Belfast in Data-Driven Decisions: Transforming Urgent Care Patient Outcomes and Resource Allocation for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.

This funded doctoral project sits in the School of Mathematics and Physics and focuses on improving urgent care through predictive modelling, machine learning, spatio-temporal modelling, and stochastic simulation. The research aims to build models that predict patient outcomes and deterioration rates from 999 calls, and to identify the optimal deployment strategy for a new Advanced Paramedic service.

The project is especially suitable for applicants with a strong background in Mathematics and Statistics. Experience with Python is an advantage. The studentship is linked to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and is funded through a CAST Studentship.

Funding information states that eligible Home DfE students receive tuition coverage plus a maintenance stipend of approximately £19,237 per annum. Home eligibility depends on nationality, residency, and academic qualifications, including UK nationality, settled status, pre-settled status, or indefinite leave to remain/enter the UK.

The project is full-time for 3 years. The application deadline is 1 December 2026, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.

Supervisor: Dr Laura Boyle ([email protected]).
