ESRC DTC Collaborative Studentship - Dashboard Interfaces<br>
CENTRE FOR INTERDISCPLINARY METHODOLOGIES (CIM) and INTEL (USA):<br>
<br>
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at The University of
Warwick is pleased to announce a new 3-year ESRC Doctoral Collaborative
Studentship, on the topic of Dashboard Interfaces.<br>
<br>
The primary objective of the Studentship is to investigate the function
and use of Dashboard Interfaces by individuals and organisations. Such
interfaces bring together a range of data flows and visualisations into
one or multiple screens for the purpose of monitoring and
decision-making. Dashboard interfaces are a site from which to examine
the changing role of software in organisations; the relationship between
visualisation and control; the social life of metrics and numbers; the
nature of the screen interface; and transformations in organisational
and individual monitoring and decision-making, among other things.<br>
<br>
Dr Nathaniel Tkacz (CIM) will act as the primary supervisor for the
successful applicant. The collaborating organisation is Intel and the
successful candidate will spend a portion of the candidature at Intel’s
main office in Portland, USA, where they will have the opportunity to
work with social science researchers.<br>
<br>
Outcomes: The main output of the research will be a PhD dissertation,
but the successful candidate will also be encouraged to write academic
journal articles as well as disseminate the project’s findings through
other outreach activities to relevant stakeholders and wider publics.<br>
<br>
Eligibility: We welcome applicants from a range of disciplinary
backgrounds with relevant qualifications (at least a 2:i Honours degree
or equivalent in a relevant subject), with preference given to students
with a relevant Masters degree. The competition is open to Home/EU
candidates; full details on eligibility are available from the ESRC (

) and should be consulted before applying. Only candidates who also
hold an offer for a place of study on the PhD programme at the
University of Warwick (CIM) will be considered. Please note that you
must apply to the PhD programme via the University application system
before you submit your DTC application.<br>
