*** Apologies for multiple postings *** The Web and Internet Science (WAIS) Research Group at the University of Southampton is offering 3 fully-funded PhD studentships to begin in October 2013. The PhD Studentships will be aligned with the EPSRC-funded collaborative interdisciplinary project SOCIAM: The Theory and Practice of Social Machines http://sociam.org/The Project's core objective is to establish the research, methods, tools, networks and collaborations to allow us to understand social machines (computational entities governed by both computational and social processes) in order that they can be designed and deployed by the full range of potential beneficiaries. The work of the Project is highly integrative and students will be expected to take a holistic approach to their studies. Potential research topics will include: * Social computing * Crowdsourcing and human computation * Human-computer interfaces for social machines * Technologies for managing decentralization in social machines, in particular semantic technologies and Linked Data * Technologies for data and process mining and analytics such as social network analysis, social media management, and text mining * Applications of the above to areas such as healthcare, personal information management, citizen science, and public administration Applications should be sent in by September 30, 2013.
