The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Computational Statistics and Data Science (Compass) offers a PhD training programme in the statistical and computational techniques of data science. As part of our recruitment for 2023/24 academic year we are holding an open event to introduce potential applicants to the CDT.
Access to Data Science will run on Monday 12 September 2022 and will provide an immersive experience for prospective PhD students. This fully-funded event will be hosted by Compass academic staff and PhD students in the Fry Building, home to the School of Mathematics. The date of this event will enable participants to also attend the Compass Annual Conference held in the School of Mathematics on Tuesday 13 September 2022.
As part of the Access to Data Science event, you’ll be invited to:
- learn about the Compass CDT programme
- discover the details of PhD projects on offer for 2023/24
- take part in a hands on data workshop
- have exclusive access to an application writing workshop
- interact with the current Compass students and find out more about their experience with the programme
- attend the Compass Annual Conference to hear first hand from our students about their research projects
The purpose of this event is to increase all aspects of diversity amongst Data Science researchers. We particularly encourage applications from women and members of the LGBTQ+ and black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, to join us.
We welcome participants from a range of numerate academic backgrounds, with undergraduate degrees in subjects such as computer science, economics, epidemiology, mathematics, statistics and physics.
Application deadline: open for applications until Wednesday, 10 August 2022, 23:59. Early applications advised.
