ADR UK is supporting 22 PhD studentships hosted by supervisors at Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) across the UK. These PhD studentships will use ADR UK’s new flagship datasets to answer policy-relevant research questions. 

ADR UK-supported PhD studentships cover ADR UK research themes. The ADR UK PhD studentship cohort will promote the wider use of administrative data for research, leading to better informed policy decisions and more effective public services. In addition, these studentships will also support ESRC DTPs in developing their capacity in priority areas highlighted by the ESRC’s review of the PhD in the social sciences, including data skills and advanced quantitative methods training.
