About this position
University of Glasgow College of Social Sciences is advertising a funded PhD scholarship on Energy Divides in Europe: Data injustices, linked to the ERC project Energy Divides in Europe: Closing Gaps in Understanding for Transformative Alleviation of Energy Poverty (EnCUENTA).
The project sits in the Division of Urban Studies and Social Policy within the School of Social and Political Sciences and focuses on energy poverty, energy policy, data injustices, and the use of critical quantitative research and data feminism to assess gaps in official monitoring indicators across Europe. The PhD researcher will review survey code books and analyse secondary survey data using descriptive and inferential statistics, with opportunities to contribute to innovative indicators in Germany, North Macedonia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Supervision is by Professor Harriet Thomson (principal supervisor) with Dr Sergio Tirado Herrero of the Autonomous University of Madrid as secondary supervisor/external expert.
This is a full-time only, 3-year funded PhD starting in January 2027. Funding includes a UKRI-rate maintenance stipend, tuition fees at the standard home/international rate, and access to a Research Training Support Grant of up to £940 per year.
Eligibility highlights: a good Masters degree (or equivalent), strong interest in the topic, proven quantitative analysis experience (ideally survey microdata such as EU-SILC or the Scottish House Conditions Survey), and willingness to use data feminism as an evaluative framework.
To apply, submit an application for the PhD in Social & Public Policy, name Professor Harriet Thomson as supervisor, use the project title exactly as specified, and include the scholarship funding label in the application. Required documents include the scholarship application form, transcripts, degree certificates, two references, and a CV.
Deadline: 30 September 2026.
