  • to support University strategy in relation to attracting high quality postgraduate students to Durham;

    • Ustinov College awards up to 8 accommodation scholarships per academic year.  The awards are to offset the cost or part of the cost of college accommodation for a single student for up to one year of study.  The value of the award is up to a maximum of £5023 (2010-2011).  Applications for Ustinov College Scholarships (Accommodation) for the academic year 2011-2012 will open in April 2011, deadline for applications will be mid-July.

  • Do you have team working skills, and potential to lead a team of equals?
  • Are you able to enthuse others and encourage them to participate?
  • Do you have a strong academic record?

    • Then the Ustinov Awards Committee wants to hear from you. A small number of positions are available each year to work with the College Officers to continue Ustinov’s development as a centre for excellence in providing an unparalleled postgraduate experience. In addition to generous discounts towards college residence charge, benefits include skills development and a much stronger CV.

    2011-2012 PhD Studentships in Climate Change and Global Economy, UK

    / April 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

    The full-time studentship, which includes an element of teaching, will be for 3 years, subject to satisfactory progress. Starting bursary will be £20,000 pa plus student fees. The global economic implications of climate change are major sources of concern and the subject of an increasing body of research. The objective of this studentship is to further this research by using a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that has been calibrated using data primarily drawn from the Global Trade Analysis Project’s database (see McDonald et al., 2007, for documentation of the GLOBE model*) to explore some aspect of the global economic implications of climate change and/or possible mitigation strategies. The precise topic, within the broad subject area, will be determined by the research proposal of the successful candidate and the first year’s research. While we would welcome applicants with research interests in:
    1.    Economic and environmental implications of growth in China and/or India
    2.    Economic implications of climate change for least developed countries
    3.    Carbon trading and economic welfare
    The successful applicant will be the candidate with the best research proposal within the broad subject area.

    Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 April 2011
