General information

• PhD Program

The Berlin School of Economics PhD Program provides outstanding doctoral students with a vibrant, intensively networked research community. The program develops the students’ talents in a unique combination of a high-level, academic research environment together with applied, policy-oriented research opportunities. Students receive state-of-the-art coursework training and can select from a wide array of specializations. For each specialization, a professional research environment is provided by Berlin’s universities and economic research institutes.

How to apply

Course catalog

Program structure and curriculum

All PhD tracks offered in the PhD Program share the same structure and general curriculum. The program’s curriculum is divided into a qualification and a dissertation phase:

Qualification Phase

During the qualification phase (about three semesters), students acquire methodological and research-oriented training in mandatory course work in economic theory, applied economics, business studies, econometrics, and economic policy. Students define their research area and find supervisory support from two supervisors. They write research proposals that are discussed with faculty members individually and in seminars in order to provide early feedback on the scientific potential of research ideas. This is a central part of the PhD Program, in which the students have full flexibility in the choice of their research topics and of the supervisors. During this phase, students are funded through stipends that allow for this flexibility. In total, students have to complete a  minimum of 90 ECTS credits  in order to finish the qualification phase of the program.

Dissertation Phase

During the subsequent dissertation phase (about three years), students write a doctoral thesis while having the opportunity to apply their knowledge in the professional research environment that is provided at the Berlin universities and research institutes participating in the Berlin School of Economics. In this phase, students are typically employed at their supervisor’s chair or in research groups at research institutes.

The PhD will be awarded by one of the institutions in the Berlin School of Economics with the right to award doctoral degrees. In most cases, the PhD is awarded by the institution the student’s first supervisor is affiliated with.

UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE

Faculty of management, economics and social sciences cologne graduate school in management, economics and social sciences, phd programme in economics.

The Cologne Graduate School (CGS) in Management, Economics, and Social Sciences offers a doctoral (PhD) programme with an integrated M.Sc. Economic Research. It consists of two stages:

• The first stage of the programme is the two-years M.Sc. Economic Research. It prepares students for high-level research in economics. It is fully taught in English.
• In the second stage, PhD students work on research projects for their dissertation and interact with other PhD students and faculty members in workshops, seminars, and summer schools.

The PhD Programme in Economics offers education, funding and supervision for research in all major fields of economics and related fields in management. It is a challenging and rigorous full-time programme in a friendly, supportive environment dedicated to excellence in teaching and research. Taking part in the graduate programme prepares students for academic positions at universities and institutions around the world as well as for top-level positions in internationally-orientated companies.

Applications for the graduated program can be either for the first stage (bachelor students) or for the second stage (master students). We invite applications of outstanding students who are close to finishing a bachelor's or master's degree in economics or a related discipline who count among the top 10% of graduates in their study programme.

Students with a bachelor's degree will enter the integrated graduate programme in the first stage via the M.Sc. Economic Research and can transfer to the second PhD stage after successful graduation of the M.Sc. Economic Research.

Students already holding a research-oriented master degree can directly enter the second stage. Students with a related master's degree without an explicit research focus (e.g. in economics, econometrics, finance, business administration, or math) attend one year of course-work before entering the second stage.

We offer funding and facilities for students at all levels. Specifically, grants are available for accepted students holding a master degree and for highly qualified applicants with a bachelor´s degree. Students who successfully passed the course-work and are admitted to the second stage can receive funding through CGS scholarships, positions financed through the excellence cluster ECONtribute or doctoral positions at the departments and chairs of the Faculty.

These doctoral students are also equipped with a workspace and computer devices at the beginning of second stage. Shared rooms with computer devices are also available for students in the first stage. Student housing is available for national and international bachelor and master students moving to Cologne. For more information regarding housing please consult the webpages of the Kölner Studierendenwerk .

The PhD programme in Economics is part of the Cologne Graduate School in Management, Economics, and Social Sciences (CGS). It closely cooperates with the following research centers at the University of Cologne and Key Research Initiatives of the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences:

Cluster of Excellence “ECONtribute: Markets and Public Policy”: The Cluster brings together outstanding researchers from economics and neighboring disciplines – management, psychology, political science and law – from the Universities of Cologne and Bonn, the Behavior and Inequality Research Institute (briq) and the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods, with the goal of establishing a leading international research center on markets & public policy.

Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB): The Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB) at the University of Cologne brings together Cologne-based researchers and international colleagues from economics, management science, and psychology who investigate the fundamental principles and behavioral mechanisms that affect social and economic behavior.

Behavioural Management Science (BMS): The WiSo Key Research Initiative Behavioural Management Science (BMS) brings together researchers that apply methods of behavioural economics and applied microeconometrics to advance our understanding of how management practices influence the behaviour of people in organisations and affect organisational performance.

Be part of the Cologne experience!

Oslo PhD Initiative in Economics

The Oslo PhD Initiative in Economics is a cooperation between BI Norwegian Business School (BI) and the University of Oslo (UiO) to make Oslo one of the most attractive places to do a PhD in Economics and Business Economics in Europe.

PhD position in “Economic Life Cycle Costing and Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Hydropower”

Job information, offer description.

This is one of two PhD positions that are part of an international and multidisciplinary research project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme entitled “Innovative Storage Technology and Operations in Hydropower”. The overall project goal is to develop innovative and sustainable pumped storage technologies and control strategies to support the flexibility and resilience of the EU energy grid. This is achieved by enhancing the lifetime and recyclability of components and equipment, devising operation strategies for unconventional conditions (e.g. salt water or coal mine applications), and through sensor-based condition monitoring systems. Furthermore, digital tools for operational management are employed to consider the dynamics of renewable energy generation and demand as well as improving efficiency and reliability. These individual components are integrated in a cyber-physical platform for advanced decision support to promote a broader operating range and increased flexibility of EU hydropower generation and storage as part of Europe’s energy transition. The specific focus of your PhD project is the analysis of costs caused by the innovations developed in the project along the value chain (production, use and maintenance, recycling). You get the chance to work with technological and operational hydropower experts from the early development stages of technologies to inform and influence the design processes. By means of economic life cycle costing analysis (LCC) you will determine capital expenditures (CAPEX), their relation to operational expenditures (OPEX), as well as “hidden” costs along the value chain. Further, you can develop ways to translate environmental/societal impacts determined by project partners into economic costs (monetization) to allow for a comparison and aggregation of internal costs and environmental/societal externalities. Finally, you will integrate the economic analysis into a broader life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) to identify synergies and trade-offs between technological, environmental, economic and societal aspects to support decision making in the development of hydropower technologies. The integration could be conducted through an absolute sustainability assessment that considers staying within planetary boundaries and meeting basic human needs (doughnut economics). You will work in close cooperation with a second PhD candidate whose focus is on environmental life cycle assessment.

Requirements

We are looking for an enthusiastic, professional, and ambitious colleague, with the following profile.

• You hold a Master’s degree in a field relevant to the PhD topic, such as (Environmental or Ecological) Economics, Engineering, or Environmental Sciences;
• You have a strong background in life cycle costing, life cycle assessment, sustainability analysis, or other relevant fields;
• Knowledge of monetary valuation, ecosystem services, hydropower and energy storage or other relevant technologies is an asset;
• You have strong analytical skills;
• You exhibit high levels of self-motivation while also being a team player;
• You enjoy working in a multidisciplinary research setting with an international research team to achieve both scientific excellence and technological relevance;
• You can prove your excellent command of the English language and strong (professional) communication skills.

Additional Information

You will be employed full-time for a period of 4 years. The university offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in which internationalization is an important part of the strategic agenda.

• A full-time 4-year PhD-position;
• We provide excellent mentorship and a stimulating research environment with excellent facilities;
• A salary of € 2.770 gross per month in the first year and a salary of € 3.539 in the fourth year gross per month;
• A holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3% of the gross annual salary;
• A solid pension scheme;
• Minimum of 29 holidays per year in case of fulltime employment;

For additional information regarding this position, you can contact prof.dr.ir. Markus Berger, email [email protected] . Please apply by uploading a motivation letter (1 page), your CV (max 2 pages), a writing sample (max 1 page e.g., an abstract of a publication or a summary of your master’s thesis) as well as relevant certificates until 10 June 2024 using the link below. The first (online) job interview will take place on 18/19 June 2024. We encourage Master students to apply even if they still have to graduate in the coming months.

A PhD , also known as a Doctor of Philosophy degree, is a doctorate awarded by a university to an academic who has completed all required qualifications and is now considered a doctor in his or her academic field. Those who study economics first learn the distinctions between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics is concerned with the behaviour and interactions of individual markets, such as households and firms. On the other hand, macroeconomics is focused on the state of the economy as a whole. Over 4,000 higher education institutions are located in Europe, ranging from world-class research organizations to small, teaching-focused universities. Europe, which expands from the Arctic Circle to the African coast, is not unlike other continents.

• A PhD in Economics typically includes coursework in both macroeconomics and microeconomics. However, if you want to teach or conduct formal research in economic subjects, this is a useful degree. Once the proposal is approved and the oral exam is passed, the final years of enrollment are devoted to dissertation research, writing, and defence.
• The major opportunity in the field of Economics is that it is primarily involved in research. A PhD degree should be pursued only if a person has a strong interest in research-oriented work. PhDs are typically pursued by individuals involved in the academic field. This may lead to a better understanding of the specific field or subject.
• After completing the PhD in Economics course, students will be able to understand a wide range of theoretical debates in economics and business, analyse economic problems, and evaluate the implications for economic policy and business planning and strategy.
• Most economist jobs require a master’s degree or a PhD in Economics. For advancement to higher-level positions, an advanced degree is sometimes required.
