Funding Opportunities
In addition to internal discretionary funding, the following external funding is currently available for specific projects:
-
Applications are sought from prospective PhD students or Postdoctoral researchers from Brazil to participate in the Science without Borders scheme and undertake a project on attitudes to electric vehicles in Brazil. Further details are available here and for more information please contact Eleanor Denny on dennye@tcd.ie
-
Applications are sought from candidates interested in pursuing either a PhD or a postdoctoral research project on ‘green jobs’ in Ireland. Specifically the project would examine the contribution of wind farm construction and operation to job creation, together with the potential for related supply chain jobs in the production of turbines in the future. It will also quantify the level and distribution of this benefit at a local and national level in Ireland, now and into the future when alternative turbine design may become competitive.
Interested PhD candidates must hold a masters in Economics (with content similar to the MSc in Economics offered by the TCD Economics Dept). Postdoctoral applicants should have a PhD in Economics, preferably in an energy or labour related area. Interested applicants should send their CV to Eleanor Denny at dennye@tcd.ie by 15th March 2013. - Grattan PhD Scholarship - Migration and Clustering of Creative Workers
Applications are inivited for a fully-funded Grattan Scholarship. The project will involve the construction and econometric analysis of large data sets on the migration and clustering of a major group of creative/innovative workers.
The successful PhD student will build on similar work by former PhD students Elish Kelly, Christiane Hellmanzik, Karol Borowiecki, and current Grattan Scholar, Sara Mitchell, in relation to visual artists, composers and literary writers. For further details contact Professor John O’Hagan (johagan@tcd.ie). Students must be first admitted to the Department’s PhD programme (http://www.tcd.ie/Economics/postgraduate/). Closing date for applications for entry to the PhD register and consideration for this Grattan Scholarship is 31st March 2013.
