QMUL EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Data-Centric Engineering - Similar companies

Data-Centric Engineering has become a globally recognised academic discipline due to its establishment as a strategic researc ... h theme of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. QMUL has been awarded £1.6m by the EPSRC to run a pilot programme encouraging people to return to research. This programme is designed to support those who have not been in academia for more than 3 years (or indeed those without undergraduate degrees) to undertake doctoral study as part of their continuing professional development or as a way of developing further skills to support career progression. The programme will train a new type of researcher, adept at working in both academic and industrial environments, through a four-year programme involving taught courses, workplace- based research projects and professional development training. Our CDT fully supports two streams of Doctoral Scholars: Professional Doctoral Scholars: We will provide a sponsorship model to organisations with employed professionals who will be upskilled in data-science and engineering research fields. They will be trained and co-supervised in workplace based research by leading QMUL academics while remaining employed full-time. Enterprise Doctoral Scholars: Talented graduates who left higher education due to financial barriers or other circumstances will be attracted into our Doctoral Training by addressing the key barriers. They will receive enhanced stipends reducing financial barriers, and be upskilled through our training programme. Placements will allow them to apply their skills in academic and industrial research environments. read more
