    Brief

    STFC is offering £10,500,000 in funding for doctoral awards in data-intensive sciences. This program will support three cohorts of five students per year over seven years (105 total students). Students will undertake original research that combines advanced data skills with STFC remit areas including particle physics, nuclear physics, and astronomy. All students are required to complete mandatory placements outside academia, typically in industry or research institutions, to develop practical experience and professional networks. This initiative aims to train the next generation of researchers equipped with both scientific expertise and industry-relevant data science capabilities. Eligible applicants must have strong academic backgrounds in science, mathematics, or related fields and demonstrate commitment to data-intensive research.
