PhD in Cognitive Science

Digital media is central to public information and access; ensuring digital accessibility is crucial. ADA (AI-Enabled Digital Accessibility) network will enable doctoral researchers to leverage AI to develop human-centric accessibility solutions that preserve accuracy and narrative coherence. As a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholar you will develop a project in ADA, working across disciplines such as language, translation, media accessibility and design studies, in combination with engineering, computer science, cognitive and social science. You will enhance your understanding of accessibility and explore diverse research methods, combining AI with human expertise to deliver personalised accessibility solutions. You will benefit from supervision by interdisciplinary teams, interact with other researchers in the network and have access to masterclasses, lectures, workshops and other training activities. Location: Guildford. Supervisors: Professor Sabine Braun, Professor Philip Jackson, Dr Elena Davitti, Professor Constantin Orasan, Professor Christine Hine.
