Employer profile

 The Liverpool Centre for Doctoral Training for Innovation in Data Intensive Science (LIV.INNO) is an inclusive hub for training diverse cohorts of excellent students in data-intensive science. The centre has a focus on addressing the data challenges presented by research in astronomy, nuclear, theoretical, particle and accelerator physics.

Why study with us
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase of data in many fields of science and engineering, due to the advancement of sensors, mobile devices, biotechnology, digital communication and internet applications. If you are interested in working on some of the most advanced research and development challenges in data-intensive science with the UK's top experts in this field, then a PhD within LIV.INNO might be right for you.

Training and development
LIV.INNO offers its PhD students comprehensive training in data-intensive science through cutting-edge interdisciplinary research projects and a targeted academic training programme, complemented by secondments to national and international research partners and strong industry contributions. This framework will provide you with an ideal basis for driving science and innovation, as well as boost your employability.

The centre is supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and hosted by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University/Astrophysics Research Institute.

What we are looking for
We are looking for dynamic, pro-active PhD students who have a passion for data-intensive science with ideally first coding skills and experience in data analysis. We encourage in particular applications from women and other STEM minority groups.

LIV.INNO actively helps overcome barriers to access; qualifying students can receive additional funding for research-related travel costs. It is also possible to realize many of our PhD projects part-time, over a longer total period.
