PhD Studentship: FIT for All: Delivering Functional Imagery Training via Generative AI To Improve Access to Effective Psychological Interventions for Health - Devon, United Kingdom - University of Plymouth
Description
DoS: Ben Whalley )
2nd Supervisor: Amir Aly )
3rd Supervisor: Jackie Andrade )
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship.
The studentship will start on 1 Oct 2024
Project Description
Join our interdisciplinary team to shape the future of mental health care. AI models like ChatGPT fundamentally change the landscape for automated delivery of psychological interventions. These models will likely make it possible to deliver psychologically-informed treatment at scale, meeting a substantial unmet need for these services.
This project will develop datasets and software to deliver Functional Imagery Training (FIT) via mobile devices and, ultimately, via embodied agents (robots). As a person-centred intervention, FIT presents an interesting challenge: the practitioner or AI must tailor responses to the content of what the 'client' says, and guide mental imagery exercises based on that personal content.
By building an interdisciplinary team of psychologists and machine learning experts this project will deliver real-world impact with broad implications for mental healthcare.
Eligibility
We are seeking candidates with an interest in psychology and knowledge and experience of machine learning or software development. Applicants should have a first class or 2:1 honours degree in an appropriate subject, or a relevant Masters qualification (e.g. psychology, neuroscience, computing/machine learning, robotics). A core element of this project is delivering software that interacts with AI models: candidates must demonstrate suitable experience and facility for computer programming.
**Desirable skills and knowledge:**
Expertise and knowledge of:
Good candidates will also demonstrate the potential to work across traditional academic disciplines.
The studentship is supported for 3 years and includes full Home tuition fees plus a stipend of £18, /24 rate (2024/25 rate TBC). The studentship will fully fund fees for applicants who are eligible to study in the UK and have relevant qualifications.
NB: The studentship is supported for three years of the four-year registration period. The fourth year is a self-funded 'writing-up' year.
