The following PhD fees-only studentship may be of interest to members:
Applications are invited from suitably qualified individuals wishing to undertake doctoral research with the Winchester Centre for Information Rights in collaboration with the Office for National Statistics.
With a specific focus on practice-based research, this is an exciting opportunity to work in an area of academia which has the potential to make a significant and tangible impact on the ongoing debate about the involvement of Government in Big Data. Students will have the opportunity to work with the ONS Big Data team on an advisory basis.
Project proposals are particularly welcomed on:
- Questions involving Big Data;
- Government and the State;
- Legal, ethical and public perception issues;
- Controversial types of data mining (such as use of Twitter data and mobile phone data).
The deadline for applications is 30 October and more information can be found at http://www.winchester.ac.uk/aboutus/175-celebrations/Pages/175th-Anniversary-Studentships.aspx
