Dear Colleague, I would be grateful if you could bring to the attention of your best students the new edition 2017-2018 of the PhD Program in Economics offered by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice. The PhD Program in Economics aims at training selected students for a career as economists in academic institutions or in research departments of national and international organizations, public institutions, private corporations, central banks, financial institutions. Here http://www.unive.it/pag/fileadmin/user_upload/scuole/graduate/documenti/2015-16/alumni/tabella_per_placement_sito.pdf you can find the first placement of last years' PhDs.
The considerable diversification of research areas covered by the members of Department of Economics and their international reputation provide an excellent environment where students of most fields in economics can find research ideas and tight guidance for their doctoral studies.
The PhD program has a duration of _four years.__ ___ For the academic year 2017-2018, 5 positions are available, all of them come with a scholarship (around 13,700 € per year).
