Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) proposes a highly innovative doctoral mobility programme to expand the number of scientists and engineers with data-science and engineering research skills in the UK economy. We will achieve this by widening access routes and increase the diversity of our Doctoral-Scholars. They will be trained to work seamlessly across academic and industrial sectors, and will qualify with professional doctorates. They will benefit from a high-quality bespoke training programme with access to world-class researchers and facilities, and the direct workplace based application of research methods in the live industrial settings of our partners including IBM, BT and the BBC. Data Science skills are in demand and include advanced statistical analysis of large datasets, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The engineering sector also has high demand for skills in modelling and manufacturing engineering, for example. Our programme will expand the provision of skills which now underpin many areas of science and engineering research activity as well as industrial and third-sector innovation. We will provide a sponsorship model to organisations with employed professionals who will be upskilled in data-science and engineering research fields. They will be trained and co-supervised in workplace based research by academics while remaining employed - our Professional Doctoral Scholars. However this model is not suitable for SMEs which typically do not have cash-flows to support such large-scale investment. SMEs will benefit by offering industrial research placements to our Enterprise Doctoral Scholars - talented graduates who left higher education due to financial barriers or other circumstances. They will receive enhanced stipends reducing financial barriers, and be upskilled through our training programme. Placements will allow them to apply their skills in academic and industrial research environments. A new holistic recruitment approach will be used to identify the applicants with the highest potential. Tower Hamlets local authority supports this pilot programme which furthers its aim of enhancing local skills, and expanding the Knowledge Quarter around the high-tech SMEs located in TechCity. This pilot naturally ties together our proven ability in five key areas. (1) Our science and engineering research is world leading and internationally excellent with 90% of our output classified as such [REF2014]. (2) Our strength in doctoral training provision is evidenced by the number of prestigious doctoral training centres, partnerships and EU training networks we host - all strongly supported by an institution-wide Doctoral College. (3) The range of our industrial partnerships is highly recognised, most recently through the £28m award of an Institute of Technology led by QMUL with 30 industry partners. (4) We are a UK leader in widening the participation of people engaging in top-tier higher education by almost any measure. (5) QMUL is an innovator in attracting people from non-academic backgrounds, and was one of the first UK institutions to offer industry-facing degree-apprenticeships, most recently recruiting 25 to its Level 7 programmes and 42 to its Level 6 programmes. This doctoral mobility programme offers a novel, enriched and integrated experience in applied research to train a new class of researcher, adept at working in academic and industrial environments, and enabled with an enviable professional peer-network to draw on throughout their careers. This pilot builds in a comprehensive evaluation framework and a route to disseminate outcomes to stakeholders in UKRI, and graduate education. The future sustainability of this pilot will be through developing doctoral-level apprenticeships, funded by the apprenticeship levy paid by employers to develop vocational skills.

伦敦玛丽女王大学 (QMUL) 提出了一项高度创新的博士流动计划，以扩大英国经济中具有数据科学和工程研究技能的科学家和工程师的数量。我们将通过拓宽入学途径并增加博士学者的多样性来实现这一目标。他们将接受培训，能够在学术和工业领域无缝工作，并获得专业博士学位。他们将受益于高质量的定制培训计划，可以接触到世界一流的研究人员和设施，以及在我们的合作伙伴（包括 IBM、BT 和 BBC）的实时工业环境中直接在工作场所应用研究方法。数据科学技能非常受欢迎，包括大型数据集的高级统计分析以及人工智能 (AI) 技术的使用。例如，工程行业对建模和制造工程技能也有很高的需求。我们的计划将扩大技能的提供，这些技能现在支撑着科学和工程研究活动以及工业和第三部门创新的许多领域。我们将为雇用专业人士的组织提供赞助模式，这些专业人士将在数据科学和工程研究领域提高技能。他们将在继续受雇的同时，接受我们的专业博士学者在工作场所研究方面的培训和共同监督。然而，这种模式并不适合中小企业，因为它们通常没有现金流来支持如此大规模的投资。中小企业将通过向我们的企业博士学者（由于经济障碍或其他情况而离开高等教育的才华横溢的毕业生）提供工业研究实习机会而受益。他们将获得更多的津贴，减少财务障碍，并通过我们的培训计划提高技能。实习将使他们能够在学术和工业研究环境中应用他们的技能。将采用新的整体招聘方法来识别最具潜力的申请人。陶尔哈姆莱茨地方政府支持这一试点计划，该计划进一步提高了当地技能，并围绕位于科技城的高科技中小企业扩大了知识区。该试点项目自然地将我们在五个关键领域的成熟能力联系在一起。 (1) 我们的科学和工程研究处于世界领先和国际优秀水平，我们 90% 的产出被归为此类 [REF2014]。 (2) 我们在博士培训方面的实力通过我们主办的众多著名博士培训中心、合作伙伴关系和欧盟培训网络得到了证明——所有这些都得到了全机构博士学院的大力支持。 (3) 我们的工业合作伙伴关系范围得到高度认可，最近由 QMUL 领导的一所理工学院与 30 个工业合作伙伴共同获得了 2800 万英镑的奖项。 (4) 无论以何种标准衡量，我们在扩大顶尖高等教育人群的参与度方面都处于英国领先地位。 (5) QMUL 是吸引非学术背景人才的创新者，也是英国最早提供面向行业的学位学徒培训的机构之一，最近为其 7 级课程招募了 25 名学生，为 6 级课程招募了 42 名学生。该博士流动计划提供了应用研究方面新颖、丰富和综合的经验，以培训新一代研究人员，他们擅长在学术和工业环境中工作，并在他们的整个职业生涯中拥有令人羡慕的专业同行网络。该试点建立了一个全面的评估框架以及向 UKRI 和研究生教育的利益相关者传播成果的途径。该试点项目未来的可持续性将是通过发展博士级学徒制，由雇主支付的学徒税资助，以培养职业技能。
