The scheme aims to connect PhD researchers across the School to facilitate:
- social and professional networking opportunities.
- a range of events, including PhD seminars, work-in-progress talks, thematic workshops and careers events.
- access to DSI facilities (meeting rooms, seminar room, and hot-desking workspaces).
- support for work and activities from our events and communications team.
The mission of the Data Science Institute (DSI) is to convene, catalyse and communicate activity in data science and AI across LSE. It is an interdisciplinary institute working alongside academic departments and research centres to foster research, education and engagement in the study of data science and AI through a social science lens.
We currently connect LSE faculty working in these areas through our Faculty Affiliate Scheme, a key feature of which is the wide range of departments represented. We aim to achieve this same breadth with our PhD Affiliate scheme.
To join the DSI as a PhD Affiliate, please complete this online form. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis with no specific deadlines, and submissions will be reviewed approximately six times a year.
