About this position

[Four fully funded scholarships are available: two departmental studentships, one school studentship, and one SENSS scholarship through the SENSS Doctoral Training Partnership. Each covers full student fees, a generous stipend, and research expenses across the first three years of study. Applicants who do not secure a full scholarship may be considered for a partial studentship including a full tuition fee waiver (covering UK and international fees) for three years, paid teaching experience of up to 180 hours per year, and £1,500 in research expenses across the first three years.]

The Department of Economics at City St George’s, University of London is offering a PhD Studentship in Economics for research-focused applicants interested in a wide range of topics across modern economics. The department is a large and active research environment, with research groups in macroeconomics and finance, applied microeconomics, and economic theory and experiments, plus specialist research centres in competition and regulatory policy and health economics.

Research interests in the department include health economics, economics of crime, development economics, public economics, behavioural and experimental economics, microeconomic theory, macroeconomics, and finance. The department also highlights interdisciplinary links with politics, sociology, and criminology, which may be relevant for applicants whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries.

The programme is designed to support doctoral researchers through a close-knit academic community, PhD-level courses, advanced training, summer schools, research seminars, and regular feedback from supervisory teams and faculty. Students may also have the opportunity to work as teaching assistants, gaining additional funding and teaching experience that can help prepare for academic or policy-oriented careers.

Funding is particularly strong: four fully funded scholarships are available, including departmental, school, and SENSS Doctoral Training Partnership awards. These scholarships cover full tuition fees, a stipend, and research expenses for the first three years. Applicants who are not awarded a full scholarship may still be considered for a partial studentship with a full tuition fee waiver, paid teaching opportunities, and research support.

Eligibility requires an MSc in Economics or a related field. Applicants are asked to review the department’s research and contact potential supervisors before applying. Full-time PhD study is normally three years, with part-time study available over seven years. The funding deadline is 30 November 2026, while self-funded candidates may apply until 30 June 2027.
