Before departing for their home institution, visiting PhD fellows often stay at UNU-WIDER for three consecutive months. Fellows prepare one or more research articles while they are in Helsinki and deliver a presentation on their findings. Additionally, they can get the chance to publish their work in the WIDER Working Paper Series.
Requirements
- Candidates must be enrolled in a PhD study and possess the skills necessary to undertake research in emerging markets.
- Candidates working in other social sciences are welcome to apply, but they should be aware that UNU-WIDER is an institute with an economics focus.
- Candidates should have excellent quantitative and/or qualitative analytical skills and be fluent in English both orally and in writing.
- Early-career, female, and researchers from developing countries are especially encouraged to apply.
- The programme is specifically designed for researchers who are nearing the end of their PhD.
- Only a select few fellows can be admitted into the very competitive Visiting PhD Fellowship Programme. One percent of all submissions in recent years have been accepted.
Financial support
- In addition to providing a monthly stipend of EUR 2,000 to cover living expenses in Helsinki during the fellowship, UNU-WIDER also offers a travel grant to cover the costs of travelling to and from the location of your PhD-granting institution or country of residence, medical insurance (for medical and hospital services resulting from illness or accident during your stay at UNU-WIDER), and travel assistance.
- The programme doesn’t offer services or pay for costs associated with dependents. Keep in mind that the monthly stipend only applies to stays in Helsinki and not to time spent online.
