About this position
International PhD Programme for Agricultural Economics, Bioeconomy and Sustainable Food Systems (IPPAE) at Justus Liebig University Giessen is a structured doctoral programme offered in cooperation with the University of Hohenheim.
The programme is designed for candidates interested in research on agricultural development, bioeconomy, and sustainable food systems, with a strong emphasis on problems in the candidate’s home country. The dissertation is expected to address an important issue of agricultural development at the micro or macro level, or a related field such as environment or rural development. Students are supported through subject courses, research design for the dissertation, field work in the home country, and development analysis and future strategies. The programme also includes a German language course and offers structured research and supervision.
It is intended to strengthen research and analytical skills and to prepare candidates for careers as researchers and teachers. The advert notes that many former students have gone on to act as multipliers at universities or other institutions in their home countries, supported by ongoing cooperation agreements and exchange activities after studies in Giessen or Hohenheim.
The course is full-time, taught in English, and begins in the winter semester.
