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.
