Overview
We have recruited PhD students for The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Diversity in Data Visualization, starting October 2025. The Centre -- DIVERSE CDT -- is a collaboration between City St George's and the University of Warwick.
Science, industry and society need people with advanced data visualization capabilities. Studying for a PhD with DIVERSE CDT is an opportunity to undertake world-leading doctoral research and join a cohort of future leaders in data visualization.
Support you will receive during the four-year degree includes a tax-free stipend of £23,158 each year, a high-end laptop for the duration of your studies, £3000 of funds to support research activity, use of our labs and facilities and expenses paid trips to international research labs and conferences.
This is an innovative, cohort-based PhD, with research structured through internships and linked projects. Through this innovative structure, academic and peer guidance, we will support PhD students from diverse backgrounds.
Data visualization is stronger if people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines and with a wide range of interests are involved in developing the field. Whether or not you ‘fit’ existing expectations of who a data visualization expert is you can bring new knowledge, perspectives, priorities, causes and ideas to the field, to apply and inform data visualization.
