PhD Scholarship in legal aspects of data and digital innovation at School of Law, University of Glasgow

Applications are invited for a PhD Scholarship being offered by the School of Law, University of Glasgow, in collaboration with international law firm CMS. The PhD project will involve a unique collaboration between the technology, media and communications practice of CMS (led by Chris Watson), and the RCUK CREATe Centre, investigating copyright and digital innovation (led by Prof. Martin Kretschmer) who will jointly supervise.

The PhD project will be shaped in discussion with the successful candidate, and seeks to establish thought leadership in a cutting edge area relating to digital technology, competition and innovation. We are particularly interested in emerging technologies and structures that may be linked to a new understanding of data as a source of market power. However, other topics could also be considered, for example relating to the Internet of Things, cloud computing, patent and trade mark behaviour (e.g. in the smartphone market), liability of intermediaries, distributed ledger technology, user-led innovation or platform competition. 

There will be opportunities to benefit from access to CMS' extensive international network of clients and institutional contacts as part of the PhD research, including a possible internship.

The deadline for applications is January 30, 2017. For more information and details on applying please see http://bit.ly/2h7ImaP. 

Please feel free to circulate this announcement to any candidates who may be interested in applying. 

All the best,
Joy
