Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Analytics and Society

16 funded PhD positions are available for 2017 in the Centre for Data Analytics and Society at the Universities of Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield.

This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a 4-year funded integrated PhD and MSc in Data Analytics and Society.

The programme will include an integrated MSc in Data Analytics over the first two years which will provide you with the foundation skills to complete your research project, all of which have been developed in conjunction with an external partner.

The CDT will encourage significant advances which bring together social science with methods from computing, mathematics and the natural sciences.

 

The Centre will focus on

• Promoting the creation and analysis of new longitudinal and streamed data resources for socio-economic investigations.
• Creating new methods (e.g. scaling up existing methods for real time big data analytics),
• Investigating social processes (e.g. virtualisation of retailing; data-driven decision making and social behaviours)
• Facilitating interventions (e.g. resource targeting, network planning, social media apps for diet, travel, lifestyle planning).

Projects are available across a range of subject areas including Demographics, Transport, Health, Retail, and Politics. All projects have been developed in conjunction with external organisations and can be seen here - https://datacdt.org/projects/
