4-year PhD studentships in Behaviour Informatics and
the multimodal study of behaviour
Are you interested in developing novel approaches to understanding, predicting or changing behaviour?
Newcastle University is offering
five, 4-year PhD studentships in the field of behaviour informatics. These are fully funded for UK and other EU students.
Behaviour
informatics brings together the study of behaviour in all its guises,
from economics to psychology and
from behavioural ecology to animal welfare, with new methods from
computational science and engineering to address challenging questions
in human and/or animal behaviour.
We want to attract students with backgrounds relevant to
either behaviour (life, social sciences and economics) or
informatics (computing science, engineering and mathematics) who are
keen to expand their skills and pursue research at the intersection of
these disciplines.
Students recruited in 2018 will form the first cohort of an integrated programme funded by the
Leverhulme
Trust to develop training in behavioural informatics
at Newcastle. In the first year, all students will conduct three taster
projects that will give them the opportunity to choose and develop
their final PhD project. All students will work with two supervisors,
one from each discipline. The four-year program
is designed to allow time for the upskill training necessary for
successful inter-disciplinary research.
