Three (3) PhD Scholarships in Learning Analytics, University of Technology Sydney, Australia (2016)

The University of Technology Sydney, Connected Intelligence Centre (CIC), is offering three $35,000 PhD Scholarships in 2016.

CIC’s mission is to invent, evaluate and theorise the design of human-centered data science and learning analytics to advance the UTS Teaching & Learning program. As you will see from our Research Themes and the three PhD topics advertised, a core theme is analytics techniques to nurture in learners the creative, critical, sensemaking qualities needed for lifelong learning, employment and citizenship in a complex, data-saturated society.

We are currently advertising three PhD scholarships in learning analytics, falling under the themes of:
- Learning across digital and physical spaces
- Learning analytics for writing practices and products
- Human-Centred-Design for Learning Analytics

Applications are invited from those with backgrounds in the social sciences (psychology, linguistics, education, learning sciences, information science, design, etc.), or/and those with an interest in human-centred applications of computer science, mathematics, statistics or equivalent.

We invite you to apply for a place if you are committed to working in a transdisciplinary team to invent user-centered analytics tools in close partnership with the UTS staff and students who are our ‘clients’. Please explore our website so you understand the context in which we work, and the research topics we are supervising. We invite informal inquiries in the first instance.
