ROSETTA - Marie Skłodowksa Curie Fellowship Programme 2024

The Department of Economics are seeking fellows with an interest in ‘Health Economics’ who will be supervised by Dr Edel Doherty and Dr Lilia Wasserka-Zhurakhovska. The research agenda is flexible, provided it aligns with health economics and ROSETTA’s research pillars: Temporal (Theories & Concepts), Temporal (Methods & Equipment), and Temporal (Context). We particularly encourage applications from behavioral researchers and experimental economists but other methodologies are welcome as well. More on our research themes can be found here: Research Themes.

ROSETTA fellows will be provided with the highest quality research environment and a training programme where they will critically examine the development, use and regulation of technology from a time perspective across all aspects of life from children, people with disabilities, people in the workplace, to healthcare and social inclusion for older people. ROSETTA will be recruiting 19 fellowships, each with a duration of 2 years, providing an unparalleled opportunity for postdoctoral researchers to delve into the critical intersection of time and technology in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.
