PhD Scholarships in Economics, University of Southampton, UK (2017)

Applications for full-time enrolment in our +3, 1+3 PhD and Integrated PhD programmes in Economics are invited for entry in October 2017. We accept applications for any field of economics but we would particularly welcome applications in the areas of decision theory, econometric theory, experimental economics, health economics, financial econometrics, game theory, labour economics, mechanism design, migration, monetary economics and political economics.

As one of the leading economics departments in the UK, we are highly respected and recognised internationally in many fields. Our interests span a very wide range of applied and policy oriented fields (Behavioural Economics, Development Economics, Finance and Investments, Health Economics, Labour Economics) as well as more theoretical domains (Econometrics, Game Theory, Quantitative Macroeconomics). We offer an active and stimulating research environment in which our postgraduate research students play a crucial part. As a PhD student in Southampton you will be taught and supervised by academics who are internationally renowned experts in their fields.

Successful candidates should have an excellent academic background in Economics or an equivalent science, holding a 1st or an upper 2nd class undergraduate degree (or overseas equivalent). + 3 applications must hold a Masters degree that meets ESRC social research methods training requirements. 1+3 students will complete the SCDTP MSc in Social Science Research Methods in their first year. Students interested in the Integrated PhD route should enrol, instead, in one of the MSc programmes offered by the Department of Economics.
