Are you a PhD student with experience in statistics, data science or programming? The Jean Golding Institute for data science and data intensive research offers a data science/statistics consultancy to researchers via its Ask JGI service. We are now recruiting PhD students for our 2024-2025 cohort!

We are particularly interested in data savvy applicants from across all faculties and schools. We work with researchers across all disciplines, so a variety of context knowledge across the Ask JGI team is just as important as specific data science and programming skills (e.g. R, Python, MATLAB, SPSS, NVivo or GIS).

Opportunity

• Get experience working outside of your immediate subject – applying statistics, programming, machine learning, data visualisation and experimental method design to queries from researchers across almost every faculty and school at UoB.
• This is a paid opportunity at Graduate Teacher - Level 1 for PhD students.
• Expected start date is Monday 7th October 2024, working ad-hoc approximately 5-10 hours per month for 12 months.

Application

Apply online on the Jean Golding Institute website (deadline: Sunday 11th August 2024).

The JGI aims to make data science and statistics expertise accessible to all. Applicants from communities traditionally under-represented in data science are strongly encouraged to apply.
