Dear All

*Apologies for cross-posting*

We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a funded PhD studentship (Delivering Functional Imagery Training via Generative AI To Improve Access to Effective Psychological Interventions for Health) at Plymouth University, UK. The closing date for applications is 29th May 2024 (midnight, UK time) (The difference in tuition fees between national and international students will be waived for excellent international candidates).

Join our interdisciplinary team to shape the future of mental health care. AI models like ChatGPT fundamentally change the landscape for the 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. More details about the topic and how to apply are available at:
