The School of Economics and Finance at the University of St Andrews, is
offering five PhD studentships to be taken up in Autumn 2007 - or as soon as
possible thereafter - to work on topics related to macroeconomics, market or
contract incompleteness or in related areas: *The emphasis is on developing
microeconomic foundations for macroeconomic theories and policy advice*.


These scholarships are part funded by the Scottish Institute for Research in
Economics which is a major new initiative between the Scottish Universities,
in collaboration with the Scottish Funding Council, in which the University
of St Andrews is a lead institution. More details on this initiative and our
role in it may be found at: http://www.econ.ed.ac.uk/sire/.

You will work on these topics and undertake limited undergraduate teaching
in return for a financial support package which will cover tuition fees in
addition to an inflation-linked *studentship of £12,000 per year*.

You will have completed a Masters degree in economics or you will have at
least an Honours degree-level education in a technical area such as
mathematics or engineering. Offers of a studentship will be conditional on
applicants being admitted to the University as a PhD student. Awards will be
for one year in the first instance, with continuation for a further two
years subject to satisfactory progress each year.
