Background
As part of the UK Industrial Strategy, funding for talent and skills related to artificial intelligence has been made available including a UKRI-wide call to fund 10-20 Centres for Doctoral Training. Further information on this call can be found here.
Ahead of this investment in AI skills, each council has received a small allocation of additional awards to start in October 2018. ESRC has been allocated 7 of these awards which will be allocated via a supervisor-led competition across the Doctoral Training Partnerships.
Applications are invited from colleagues that address the priority theme of applications and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Further information can be found in Annex 1 below.
Applying to this competition via the Midlands Graduate School DTP
All interested supervisors are asked to submit their completed applications to esrcdtp@warwick.ac.uk by Friday 13th April 2018. Each DTP can put 2 applications forward to the ESRC.
As a reminder a list of the available pathways within the Midlands Graduate School DTP can be found here: www.mgsdtp.ac.uk/studentships/.
