Warwick Business School - ESRC Collaborative Student, Network for Integrated Behavioural Science - Modelling Decision Processes

What the studentship covers

This was a fully funded PhD post at University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. You will receive a monthly living allowance of approximately 1,400 EUR for up to 48 months (four years). The funding came from the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) via its Network for Integrated Behavioural Science (NIBS), a research group focusing on human decision-making. The project focused on modelling decision-making processes, i.e. the creation of formal models that describe how people choose between different options.

Who could apply

• Level: You would like to start a PhD programme at the University of Warwick.
• Field of study: You have a background in economics or psychology.
• Where you study: You’re studying at the University of Warwick, so you’ll need to move to the UK if you live elsewhere.
• Nationality: Open to all nationalities.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted via the University of Warwick. The deadline for applications is 28 March.

How realistic are your chances?

This is a single, narrowly defined PhD post linked to a project on decision modelling and to a specific department at the University of Warwick. Only a handful of applicants with the relevant background in economics or psychology apply for this post. If your research interests align closely with the topic and you have excellent grades, your prospects are good. As with any funded PhD position, a clear fit with the specified project is more important than a broad CV profile.
