About the Project
The Economics Division at The University of Stirling Management School offers a full-time funded PhD studentship in Economics. This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate who is aiming to complete a PhD and undertake a substantial piece of research that makes a contribution to the field of environmental economics.
This PhD project will focus on the modelling of choices and subjective wellbeing within the broad area of environmental and resource economics. The project will make use of a large number of existing datasets and also collect primary data.
The student will work with Prof Danny Campbell, Dr Mirko Moro and Dr Erlend Dancke Sandorf to apply and develop cutting edge techniques for the econometric analysis of choices and subjective wellbeing for real problems.
The successful student will benefit from being part of the Applied Choice Research Group (https://www.acrg.site), which is a new and exciting research group established to provide a focal point for the research interests of staff within the Economics Division who work in various applied fields of choice modelling.
The Economics Division at The University of Stirling Management School is a vibrant community with world-leading academic credentials and strong professional links with interdisciplinary researchers, policy institutions and the business community. Our research programmes and collaborative research environment makes Stirling the ideal place for your PhD.
The successful candidate should have, or expect to obtain, an undergraduate degree in Economics (or related) and a postgraduate degree in Economics (or related).
The successful candidate must have a very strong background knowledge and experience in the use of statistics and quantitative economic modelling.
The successful candidate will be expected to deliver tutorials to undergraduate and/or taught postgraduate programmes. Therefore, the successful candidate must have strong communication skills.
The start date of the project is April 2020 (or as soon as possible).
To apply send your curriculum vitae by 6 March 2020.
Informal inquiries can be made to Prof Danny Campbell ([Email Address Removed]).
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend a Skype interview.
