PhD positions in economics

The successful PhD applicants will be offered a fully-funded place in the doctoral program. We will be in touch with candidates of interest by the end of February.
The academic year starts on September 26, 2022, but there is some flexibility to start earlier if that is preferable.

The position is for up to 4 years, with an annual review of research progress and performance. As doctoral student, you will receive a stipend of at least €2,050 per month (net of taxes) with full health insurance.

Over these four years, you will conduct independent research under the supervision of one or more faculty members of your research group. The topic(s) will be determined in collaboration with your supervisors.

To be eligible for a full time 4 year PhD scholarship, and to immediately start in the doctoral program, students should have successfully completed a research master in economics or in a closely related field (e.g. finance, econometrics,…) by September 2022.

However, if you still need to complete a research master, you are equally invited to apply on this vacancy as we offer a few MASE fellowships to the most promising applications for the Master of Advanced Studies in Economics (MASE) at KU Leuven. More information about the MASE program can be found at: http://feb.kuleuven.be/mase

Your application package should contain the following documents:
• Curriculum vitae
• Research statement
• Transcript of all university grades
• Indicate your preferred research group via http://feb.kuleuven.be/phd-researchgroup
• (recommended) GRE or GMAT test score and/or proof of English proficiency such as TOEFL or IELTS test scores
• (optional) Writing sample, e.g. MA thesis
• (optional) Reference letters can be addressed to [email protected] by your referees

If you have questions regarding the application or about the PhD position itself, please contact Andras Avonts ([email protected] ).

You can apply for this job no later than 31/01/2022 via the online application tool
