Oferta compartida por Cristina About the project The PhD project will focus on the issue of data sharing. The first part of the project has a social science focus and will explore the technical and social issues that enable, promote or hinder the sharing of data – with a focus on institutionalized data, such as research institutions and universities, semi-structured data, such as that collected by NGOs or small organisations / associations, and unstructured data, such as that collected by individual stakeholders or citizen scientists. A particular emphasis will be placed on hunters as an often-neglected group of citizen scientists. The second part of the project will focus on demonstrating the challenges and benefits of integrating diverse data sets, such as structured and unstructured data, in order to produce improved ecological inference. Large datasets are available, but there will be a need to integrate them for analysis. The candidate’s main supervisor will be Associate professo...
