The Alan Turing Institute and The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) are seeking to recruit four doctoral students to work on PhD projects in the priority areas of smart cities and health and well-being. Two of these studentships will be registered at the University of Leeds, with the Centre for Data Analytics and Society.

Studying at the Turing offers a unique opportunity to undertake a data science-focused PhD in a multidisciplinary environment, where over 150 experts work side-by-side, in a range of disciplines, to solve problems, generate ideas and transform research into real-world impact.

Projects based at Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, University of Leeds
Supervised by Professor Alison Heppenstall (ESRC/Turing Fellow, University of Leeds)

Project 3: Uncovering hidden patterns and processes in social systems
Project 4: Understanding the inner-workings of city-level agent-based model
