Data Analytics and Society is an ESRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training providing postgraduate research and training across 4 Universities:
- University of Leeds
- University of Liverpool
- University of Manchester
- University of Sheffield
The CDT encourages significant advances which bring together social science with methods from computing, mathematics and the natural sciences.
This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a 4-year funded integrated PhD and MSc in Data Analytics and Society.
The programme takes a +4 structure, it includes an integrated MSc in Data Analytics over the first two years which will provide you with the foundation skills to complete your research project over the 4 years of the programme.
The Centre is focused 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).
The final intake of students started in October 2023 and we are no longer open for applications to study with the centre. If you are interested in other PhD funding opportunities, please take a look at the ESRC funded DTPs – DTP contacts 2024-2028
