The Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) is a new five-year £1.5 billion funding stream, announced as part of the Government’s 2015 spending review. It forms part of the UK’s Official Development Assistance commitment, to support cutting-edge research which addresses the problems faced by developing countries.
The course programme promotes theoretical and empirical methods at an advanced level. Additionally, applicants are granted access to the excellent data resources (administrative and survey data) of the IAB on employment and social security. Doctoral students benefit from the professional research environment that enables them to apply their knowledge in academic and applied empirical research.
We address outstanding graduates from economics, sociology or other social sciences who hold a master degree or diploma. Applicants are expected to submit a proposal addressing empirical and theoretical research questions in the field of labour market research or the development of the required statistical-econometric methods.
IAB supports scholarship holders with a scholarship of 1,150 euros per month. In accepting the scholarship, the scholarship holder commits him/herself to talking part in the study programme and to limiting secondary, income-generating activities to a maximum of 10 hours per week (i.e. a “quarter job” according to the German civil service).
The scholarship is granted for the period of a year. The maximum period of support is 3 years. Before each period of support comes to an end, an assessment will take place as to whether further support is justified. To this end, each scholarship holder submits an intermediate report each year documenting the extent to which the project has progressed, as well as specifying an updated schedule/further steps to be completed.
Additionally, each scholarship holder receives 1,800 Euros a year for the participation in conferences and training and other dissertation relevant expenditures. For research visits abroad GradAB students can obtain additional financial support. GradAB doctoral students with a child under three years of age are offered a part-time scholarship with a duration of up to five years.
The Center for Development Research (ZEF) and the Institute for Food and Resource Economics (ILR) at the University of Bonn invite applications for a full time postdoctoral researcher position in model-based trade and environmental policy analysis starting October 1st (2016) for 1 year and 8 months (extension for further qualification possible). The selected candidate will conduct research in the project “Sustainable trade and innovation transfer in the Bioeconomy” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The project aims at developing a better understanding of how and under what conditions bio-based transformation can lead to reducing the environmental footprint of the global bioeconomy with a particular focus on socio-economic and environmental effects in ecologically sensitive landscapes of the global South. Research will be conducted in collaboration with research groups at the University of Bonn, the NRW Bioeconomy Science Center (BioSC) and international partners using existing global trade models, such as GTAP. A focus lies on spatially disaggregating land use impacts of global trade scenarios at subnational levels in selected regions in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
Requirements
• Doctoral degree in economics, agricultural economics, or related fields
• Demonstrated modelling/programming skills, for example using GAMS, and experience working with Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) or environmentally extended MultiRegion Input-Output models.
• Willingness to engage in collaboration across scientific disciplines
• Excellent English oral and writing skills
• Good intercultural communication and teamwork skills.
Remuneration will be according to TV-L (E13) (German salary system for university-based researchers).

The Center for Development Research (www.zef.de) is an international and interdisciplinary academic research institute within the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Bonn, Germany. ZEF is an equal opportunity employer and particularly welcomes applications from female candidates. Please note that only short listed candidates will be contacted.
The doctoral project aims to deepen our understanding of the risk faced by economic actors in a globalized world. International trade entails numerous sources of uncertainty, generating both opportunities and losses for different countries, sectors and factors of production. Identifying the sources of risk pertaining to globalization is key to design policies and will form an essential part of this project.
The candidate will study the link between globalization and risk both from a theoretical and an empirical perspective. The tasks include: (i) developing a framework to identify the main drivers of changes in comparative advantage and the uncertainty associated with them, (ii) identifying the costs and benefits for different agents and (iii) drawing the policy implications of the analysis.
The project is financed by the Fonds Spéciaux de Recherche of the Université Catholique de Louvain.
The candidate will write a doctoral thesis under the supervision of Gonzague Vannoorenberghe (IRES). The candidate will work at IRES (https://www.uclouvain.be/en-ires.html).
In addition to performing the tasks of the research project, the PhD candidate will improve his/her research skills by completing a doctoral training program in Economics and will actively participate in the research activities of the institute. To find a description of the rules of the Doctoral Program in Economics at the Université Catholique de Louvain, please go to: http://www.uclouvain.be/514881.html.
