Information Management – doctoral research
If you're interested in joining a dynamic community of talented researchers from around the world to explore research questions that matter, we would like to hear from you.
Our research topics
Within the Information Management academic group, we are especially keen to receive PhD research proposals in the following areas:
- Artificial Intelligence – applications (e.g. different industry sectors, social use cases) through to novel perspectives on ethics, including the cross-cultural;
- New Humanism – critique and design in digital culture, counter-balancing forces (e.g. wellbeing), decentralization and disintermediation, open data;
- Analytics and Decision – sentiment analysis, decision support, smart contracts and Decentralized Autonomous Organisation.
Doctoral students join a lively and supportive community of research students, becoming an integral part of the School’s research culture. We welcome approaches from suitably qualified graduates, particularly those with a relevant master's degree and sufficient funding who may wish to undertake research projects in the specialist areas of the group, leading to a PhD. As a research student, you will be encouraged to attend conferences to present your work and develop joint publications with your supervisors.
The group has great supervisory experience and is keen to supervise high quality research students in members’ specialist research fields. Recognition of the quality of supervision offered by Group members has resulted in funding for doctoral students from research councils.
Please feel free to browse our group members to identify a potential supervisor(s), develop your research proposal, share this with the identified supervisor(s) and confirm they are willing to be named in support of your application. You are encouraged to ask for feedback from them to develop your research proposal. Then you should be ready to formally apply.
