3 PhD Positions in the Research Training Group 2865 “CUDE”
CUDE aims to create an excellent environment for early career researchers to conduct their own research projects within a tailor-made doctoral study program. Our research agenda aims to merge two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics. Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This notion of uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world’s mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological development. With the guidance of our participating researchers, you'll have the chance to gain a comprehensive understanding in the research field and conduct your own projects within the areas Individual Behavior under Uncertainty in Dynamic Environments Uncertainty in Markets and Strategic Interactions Consequences of Uncertainty for Policy and Welfare We invite talented and enthusiastic students to join our tailor-made PhD program that offers a variety of interesting research topics. In the following, we highlight the key features that you can expect as a CUDE-member: Tailored Curriculum: Our program offers a meticulously designed curriculum that is embedded into a structured doctoral study program and balances theoretical foundations with practical applications. Over the period of 4 years, you have the opportunity to attend lectures starting from core courses on Micro- and Macroeconomics, Finance, Econometrics and Data Science up to specialized seminars held by our local faculty members as well as international guests (for example our Mercator fellow Jean-Marc Tallon). To this end, our curriculum ensures not only a comprehensive understanding of the broad and international research agenda, but also deepens your knowledge in your field of interest! Additionally, internal colloquia and reading groups provide you insights into the state of the art in the different research areas and give you the chance to receive feedback on your own ideas. Research Collaboration: Collaboration is key to our program's success. In particular, the research training group holds strong ties with many international researchers that are invited for block courses and summer schools on topics of our research agenda. As a highlight of our program, the Mercator fellow Jean-Marc Tallon complements the research training group and will provide outstanding expertise as well as add significant value to several CUDE research projects. Moreover, he will serve as a contact person for possible research stays in Paris. Beyond, we offer several measures to enable your research visit at an international institution. Job Market Preparation: Graduating from our PhD Program opens doors to a wide array of impactful career opportunities. You will benefit from our alumni network as well as our strong connections to international partner universities. During several workshops and seminars, you will receive an intensive preparation for your time after the PhD! For more information about the CUDE research training group as well as specific information about the application process, please visit our website (uni-bielefeld.de/cude) and the official advertisement of the university.

Funded as a TVL-13 Doctoral researcher (43.000 € Gross Salary)
PhD in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions
The PhD program lasts three years and all its activities are in English. Each post is endowed with a scholarship of about € 16.243 gross per year. Each student is endowed with an additional budget of about €1.624 per year for research activities. The PhD program is hosted by Department of Economics of the University of Insubria (located in Varese, Italy), which has been granted the Departments of Excellence award and funding plan for the period 2023 – 2027 by the ANVUR (Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes), ranking 8th among the Italian departments of economics and statistics. Topic and goals A substantial part of economic analysis centres on decision-making processes. Consumers and producers, workers and firms, banks and managers, households and policymakers are constantly making decisions that carry economic significance. Economists seek to understand, predict, or influence the processes underlying these decisions. The analysis of human decision-making draws on a range of methods and models, which vary considerably across different areas of economic research. For example, classical decision theory is largely rooted in mathematical modelling, whereas more recent developments in behavioural decision theory often employ experimental methods. Econometric techniques are used to examine the factors influencing specific decisions, such as those related to labour, transport, health, or charitable giving. Particular attention is also given to contemporary approaches in policy evaluation. Computational methods play a key role in simulating interactions among economic agents and in assessing the broader economic implications of those interactions. The PhD programme in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions equips early-career researchers with the skills to master the wide range of theoretical and applied approaches used in economics to analyse decision-making processes. Faculty The PhD Board includes faculty members of Insubria University as well as faculty members of other Italian and foreign universities. See the PhD webpage for the complete faculty list. Organization In the first year of the program, students attend compulsory courses to acquire a broad set of research skills (from theory to data analysis), that allow them to tackle the complex phenomena related to decision making. During the second and third year of the program, students focus on their own research under the supervision of one or more faculty members and participate in seminars and reading groups in their field of interest. See the training activities webpage for the complete list of courses. The program strongly encourages students to spend part of their PhD period abroad and supports them in gaining international experience. The central goal of the program is to create independent researchers, who can then pursue an academic career in leading universities or obtain research positions in private firms or international organizations. At the end of the third-year students submit their PhD dissertation, which is usually made of three research papers. The PhD courses in the next academic year will start in November 2025. Admission requirements The selection procedure is open to candidates who hold a Master’s Degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a 4-year Degree previous to the Ministerial Decree no. 509/1999 (Laurea quadriennale vecchio ordinamento), or equivalent academic title (Master’s Degree) obtained abroad, without age or citizenship restrictions. Graduands may conditionally access the selection procedure, provided that they obtain the required admission qualification by 31 October 2025, under penalty of exclusion in case of positive outcome of the selection procedure.
