The PhD scholarships are offered within quantitative analyses of labour market and welfare policies, including e.g. analysis of the effects of labour market programmes, the effects of programmes in relation to children, youth, families, immigrants or elderly, or the use of economic incentives in employment or integration policies. The aim is to analyse different types of interventions targeting these groups, and to develop and apply econometric methods for evaluating programmes using micro data.
The PhD scholarships are placed within the Graduate School for Integration, Production and Welfare, and they are affiliated with the Department of Economics and the Danish National Institute of Social Research. Further information on the Graduate School and the PhD scholarships can be obtained from professor Peter Jensen, Department of Economics, phone: +45 89 486 482, e-mail: pje@asb.dk, or research director Niels Ploug, Danish National Institute of Social Research,
phone: +45 33 48 08 40, e-mail: np@sfi.dk .
A PhD student in Denmark must complete an individually planned PhD course programme within the relevant research area and conduct a research project under the supervision of experienced senior researchers. As part of the PhD scholarship the PhD student will be enrolled in the PhD programme comprising a number of courses within the relevant research area.
The PhD student is also expected, as part of the programme, to spend some time (up to six months), with coverage of travel and accommodation expenses, at another - often foreign - research institution. During the programme, the PhD student is further expected to gain teaching experience within the subject area as well as experience with other forms of dissemination of research results. ASB also finances participation in relevant PhD courses and scientific conferences. In addition, it is expected that PhD students participate in and contribute to the other activities of the department.
