Faculty ofJob Offers at the Department for Economic and Agricultural Policy
Our team welcomes applications for PhD positions of appropriate candidates with a master/diploma degree in (agricultural) economics or neighbouring disciplines at any time. We expect solid knowledge of microeonomics at technical level, above average grades and the ability to work in a team on research projects. All our PhD students are enrolled in the Theodor-Brinkmann-Graduate School of our faculty. Applications should be sent electronically and comprise a motivation letter, a short CV, certificates of courses with grades and the diploma/master theses.
We offer a team of internationally oriented researchers. Thanks to projects with external funds, we can offer intensive supervision by post-docs in the team. Doctoral students are systematically guided towards publications in peer reviewed journals and the corresponding completion of the dissertation.
Applications as student assistants by students who have not yet a degree are also welcome.
