11 PhD Scholarships: Economic Policies for the Global Bifurcation

Call for applications for the EPOG-Doctoral Network (2024–2028): 11 PhD scholarships are available, starting September/October 2024. Each position is a 36-month doctoral program.

The MSCA-funded EPOG-DN project aims to build a community of economists capable of interdisciplinary collaboration to address ecological challenges. It involves 8 full partners and 12 associated partners from various sectors and disciplines.

This project explores pathways toward achieving strong sustainability, where social, economic, and environmental objectives are integrated. It introduces the concept of global bifurcation, encompassing systemic and multidimensional processes, and proposes a systemic approach involving socio-technical, socio-economic, and socio-ecological perspectives.

• The 11 fully funded scholarships are for doctoral candidates in the following areas:

1. Platforms, big tech companies, and ecological transition
2. Low-tech, commons-based manufacturing, and decentralized production within ecological transition
3. Big Data and In Natura Calculation for Ecological Planning
4. Integrated Assessment Models for understanding and managing complexity
5. Stock-flow consistent modelling with a Unified Assets Framework for sustainability decision-support (SUFIS)
6. Economic metabolism and unequal exchange: a Global North / Global South perspective
7. Rethinking development in developing countries in the context of ecological transition
8. Wellbeing without growth
9. The wage-labour nexus in a planetary boundaries economy
10. Workplace democracy and ecological transition
11. Environmental NGOs' contribution to urban ecological restoration and rewilding

Scholarships include a gross monthly allowance of €3,400, adjusted for living costs, and full social security coverage. Additionally, there is a mobility allowance of €600/month to cover travel and accommodation costs.
