    Description

    Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD studentship in the Department of Economics at Royal Holloway, University of London.

    We are inviting applications for a September 2024 start, and the successful candidate will join a research project on Social Norms, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The project seeks to understand how social norms develop and are sustained, and involves psychologists, economists, and computer scientists at Royal Holloway. The position will be supervised by Professor David Levine (Economics), but the successful student will also benefit from the expertise provided by members of the project team including Michael Mandler (Economics), Francesco Feri (Economics), Bjoern Hartig (Economics), Ryan McKay (Psychology), Gabriele Bellucci (Psychology) and Kostas Stathis (Computer Science).

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    • Social Norms
    • Game Theory
    • Experimental Economics
    • Micro Economic Theory

    INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENTSHIP & ELIGIBILITY

    The studentship provides support of £21,237 per year (UKRI rate for the 2024/2025 academic year with London Weighting) over a period of 4 years for a full-time student. It also includes a fee waiver to cover fees at the home fees rate (currently £4,786 for the 2024/2025 academic year).

    Students who have already started their study programme are not eligible.

    REQUIREMENTS

    Applicants for the studentship should ideally hold, or be predicted to achieve, a first-class undergraduate degree or equivalent in Economics or related discipline. A relevant MSc (e.g. microeconomics, behavioural economics, computational economics, decision sciences) with distinction is desirable, but not essential. Strong statistical skills, and experience with designing and implementing experiments with human participants, are useful. Applicants will need to submit a CV, a research proposal and personal statement (see guidance here), along with transcript(s) and copies of any qualifications.

    The Department of Economics at Royal Holloway produces world leading research and teaching on topics ranging from the effect of immigration on labour markets, to how and why stock markets soar and plummet just before news is released, to why children born during financial crises underachieve, to the economic impacts of Brexit, and various issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research informs both our teaching and impact with various organisation ranging from the Home Office to NATO.
