Dear all

The Centre for Data Analytics and Society is now open for applications for PhD students to start in October.

The projects are all partnered with an external organisation giving you the opportunity to work closely with industry, opportunities range from exploring different approaches to health and obesity, working with crime data, to developing automated processes for use with forensic testing.

We are looking for graduates from a wide range of backgrounds with interests in how data can be used to address social science questions using statistical or predictive techniques. Students will work with a multi-disciplinary team of supervisors as well as having the opportunity to work with external partners on real life problems.

The programme is an integrated one (+4), where students undertake an MSc in Data Analytics over the first two years which provides the foundation skills to complete
your research project.
