The Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility is internationally
recognised for its applied research expertise. It is a leader in research
and education in the ethical and social issues related to information and
communication technologies.
A research student bursary is available for three years full time study
for a PhD. Fees (at UK/Europe rate currently 2940GBP) plus a subsistence
grant (7500GBP) are included in the bursary. The student will be located
at CCSR in Leicester UK
Research at CCSR has been particularly strong in technological assessment
from an ethical and social perspective. Indicative of this is the work
commissioned by the UK Government to investigate the efficacy of
Electronic Voting. The successful applicant might conduct research into a
specific application of this type of technological assessment. This
application would either be electronic commerce or workplace monitoring.
A second area of ongoing research for CCSR is the ethical aspects of
systems development and implementation. There has been a successful PhD
completion in this area already. There is a clear gap in the effective
stakeholder identification, consideration and inclusion in systems
development practice. The successful applicant might undertake research
into the stakeholder perspective of systems development.
