PhD/DPhil opportunity in Oxford on FAIR synchrotron data

Dear Colleagues,

kindly share it with interested parties.

*Another 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.

Kind regards,

Susanna

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

*More details and how to 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 29 April 2022 (and may reopen until we 
find the appropriate candidate)

*Start date*: October 2022

*Eligibility: *this is co-funded by EPSRC, therefore the studentship is 
for Home Student only. To be treated as a home student, candidates must 
meet one of these criteria:

  * be a UK national (meeting residency requirements)
  * have settled status
  * have pre-settled status (meeting residency requirements)
  * have indefinite leave to remain or enter.
