Five fully funded PhD student positions available
The Doctoral Program in Analysis of Social and Economic Processes (ASEP) of the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) is offering five fully funded PhD student positions, starting from November 1, 2017.
The ASEP Doctoral Program welcomes applications for admission from highly motivated candidates with a solid social science background and a strong interest in empirical research. Candidates should hold an Italian laurea magistrale or any equivalent foreign degree. Candidates who expect to obtain the required degree by October 31, 2017 are also eligible to apply for admission; accepted candidates who fail to meet this requirement, however, will lose their right to admission. Candidates are expected to be fluent in spoken and written English, which is the official language of the ASEP Doctoral Program.
Admission follows a public selection procedure based on qualifications and an oral examination. The examination will take place on September 13, 2017, starting from 10:00 am, in the De Lillo Room, Building U7, 2nd floor, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano, Italy. If necessary, the examination will continue on September 15, 2017, starting from 10:00 am.
