ESRC Centre for Doctoral Training Data Analytics and Society

Aiming to provide significant advances to bring together social science with methods from computing, mathematics and the natural sciences.

About us

The problems addressed by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Net Zero Maritime Energy Solutions (N0MES) are diverse, multidisciplinary and driven by scientific endeavour, national priorities and industry need.

Data Analytics and Society is an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded Centre for Doctoral Training which will provide postgraduate research and training for 52 students across 4 universities: 

  • University of Leeds
  • University of Liverpool
  • University of Manchester
  • University of Sheffield.

The Centre for Doctoral Training will focus on:

  • Promoting the creation and analysis of new longitudinal and streamed data resources for socio-economic investigations
  • Creating new methods (eg scaling up existing methods for real time big data analytics)
  • Investigating social processes (eg virtualisation of retailing; data-driven decision making and social behaviours)
  • Facilitating interventions (eg 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, visit the ESRC website, ESRC funded Doctoral Training Partnerships.
