About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton on Cybercrime, Markets and Adaptation.
The project, Market Failure or Market Adaptation? Rethinking Cybercrime, explores what happens when cybercrime markets are disrupted: do they collapse, adapt, relocate, or reorganise? The research aims to shed light on trust, governance, and enforcement in legitimate, grey, and illicit markets.
This PhD sits at the intersection of economics and cybersecurity, and the supervisors are Professor Jeff Yan (Cybersecurity) and Dr Monica Beeder (Economics).
Applicants are especially encouraged if they are interested in quantitative, causal, network, and/or behavioural methods. The post also notes that strong MSc students or graduates may be a good fit.
Funding is competition-funded. Successful candidates may receive a studentship covering UK-level tuition fees plus a stipend for living costs. Because funding is allocated competitively, early applications are encouraged.
