PhD/DPhil opportunity in Oxford on FAIR synchrotron data

Dear Colleagues,

kindly share with interested parties.

*An opportunity to contribute to the FAIR ecosystem*. This PhD/DPhil 
project is a collaboration between my group at Uni of Oxford and Diamond 
Light Source Ltd.

*******

*Project*: “FAIR synchrotron data, from theory to implementation: 
understanding and evaluating the technical, social and policy implications”

*Apply*: 
https://eng.ox.ac.uk/study/research-studentships/research-studentship-in-knowledge-engineering/

*Aim*: This DPhil project will address the following questions:
What are the cultural barriers to open science and FAIR data?
What logical frameworks are appropriate for supporting formal 
vocabularies and metadata models?
What are the most promising technologies for data discovery?
What form of query service would be appropriate to answer the kind of 
questions that future data consumers will be asking?

This DPhil project is designed to deliver novel conceptual and 
methodological contributions to advance the practices and the 
infrastructure for research data management necessary to use synchrotron 
data at scale in a way that is not possible now. Specifically, the DPhil 
project will define and prototype how to move from the current 
manually-focused, time-consuming and error-prone operations to a 
streamlined, unambiguous and AI-ready framework.

*Application deadline*: noon on 3 March 2020

*Start date*: October 2020

Kind regards,

Susanna
