Getting data scientist support

Image inspired by Bristol students' data visualisations

Our team at the Jean Golding Institute can help support your projects in a number of ways:

We can provide a wide range of data science and data intensive research expertise, including: 

Free 1 day of support from our Ask-JGI “ask a data scientist” service for all staff and doctoral students at the University of Bristol. Supported by our team of postgraduates and supervised by our data scientists.

We can help with: 

  • Data analysis – recommendations or support with tools and methods for modelling, machine learning, statistics and reproducible analysis pipelines.
  • Data communication – data visualisation, dashboards and websites.
  • Data management – data management plans and data governance.
  • Software development – technical support, coding (for example: Python, R, MATLAB, SQL, bash scripts), code review and best practices.

Costed support

Suitable if you need a task completed that is either short-term or does not require extensive domain knowledge:

  1. Flexible, ad-hoc support costed from your existing research grants (conditional on the availability of a suitable data scientist)
  2. Planned, costed support from data scientists for your project (for example: 1 day per week for 3 months)
  3. Long term data science support - Extended data scientist integration into your project or group (for example: 50% FTE for 2 years)

The above are examples of what we can offer, and we would try to be flexible if your needs are different.  Please contact ask-jgi@bristol.ac.uk to find out more about how we can support you.
