Algorithmic gender bias in health and social care
Project in brief

Applications are invited for an interdisciplinary four-year PhD studentship at the Centre for Digital Media Cultures and the Centre for Applied Data Analytics at the University of Brighton. The successful candidate will join an internationally recognised team of researchers to investigate the ways in which algorithmic gender bias occurs, and understand how it can be mitigated against, in the specific context of health and social care (H&SC) provision. You will

a) map algorithm-based systems currently in use by H&SC providers

b) develop methods that identify gender bias within AI systems, and

c) examine ways in which bias can be removed.

This PhD studentship will provide an outstanding training in social research methods and computer science data analytics, to produce insights into algorithmic bias, and to develop thorough understanding of the social, economic, cultural, ethical and governance aspects of artificial intelligence for future societies.
