“*For the first time in history, more than half of the World’s population
lives in urban areas; in just a few decades the World’s population will
exceed 9 billion, 70% of whom will live in cities. Enabling those cities to
deliver services effectively, efficiently and sustainably, while keeping
their citizens safe, healthy, prosperous and well-informed, will be among
the most important undertakings of this century*.” [UN-HABITAT]

Addressing the challenges of an increasingly urban world will be one of the
most important undertakings of this century. Our centre for doctoral
training in urban science employs city, industry and academic professionals
to provide sector-leading training and research supervision. The centre
also provides an international student experience through its partnership
with CUSP urban science laboratory in New York (see cusp.nyu.edu).

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Urban Science and Progress has
multiple fully-funded PhD studentships for*October 2016*. The centre is
multidisciplinary, inviting students with strong backgrounds in computer
science, informatics, engineering, geography, mathematics, environmental
science, socio-technical studies or other relevant discipline areas, to
apply. The CDT offers a 1+3 (MSc+PhD) training model that is high‐quality
and rigorous, to produce multiple cohorts of successful, highly‐employable
graduates.  The first year provides Masters-level training in one of three
streams (Information Engineering, Data Analytics, Urban Informatics and
Analytics).  In years 2-4, students carry out PhD research guided by
supervisors from within the Centre.  City and industry partners will
provide additional mentoring and guidance.
