Dear Prof Sir Nigel and Local Public Data Panel Members,

The Department of Communities and Local Government is seeking a PhD Student intern through the ESRC Student internship programme to investigate local data linking.

We have been asked to bring it to the attention of any academics or others who might be interested in putting forward candidates and we wondered if you might have some ideas on potential takers.

Please find attached the advert for the internship which is now live. The project is quite flexible at this point but is focused on working closely with at least one local authority to investigate the potential barriers, costs and benefits to linking data at a local level to improve public service delivery.
