Digital Economy is an RCUK cross-council programme, aimed at realising
the transformational impact of ICT for all aspects of business, society

provenance would also be beneficial. They candidate will have a PhD or

technology and innovation relevant to society and the economy is
essential as is the ability to work in a cross-disciplinary team
including colleagues in medicine and the social sciences. <br>
