The Department of Accounting and Finance at the Lancaster University Management School is looking for a PhD student to join the project “Responsibility, Risk and Return: Sustainable Investing for a Resilient Future” from October 2025, and offers a fully funded position. The project is run jointly by the Department of Accounting and Finance at Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) and our industry partner Robeco.
We offer a 1+3 years studentship funded by the ESRC – Northwest Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership. The PhD Studentship includes payment of full tuition fees and an annual maintenance grant of £21,500 (tax-free) in years 1, 2, 3 and 4. The start date is 1st October 2025.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT: Modern society challenges the classical risk-return portfolio optimization framework with demands for environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) aspects.

To this end, the PhD Student can draw from the corresponding deep resources of Robeco, a leader in quantitative and sustainable investing, to investigate forward-looking approaches to managing investment opportunities and risks associated with sustainability. The project will thus further the academic profession’s understanding of the underlying economic mechanism and provide guidance to the investment management industry for efficiently navigating sustainable investing. The PhD Candidate will enjoy the unique opportunity to pursue a first-class formal finance education while keeping close ties to the investment management industry. In particular, the PhD Student will get comprehensive insight into the Robeco Quantitative Investments Team with more than 40 investment professionals managing EUR 80bn as per September 2024.

PhD scholarships at Center for Economic Behaviour and Inequality (CEBI) at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
Are you passionate about pioneering research on economic behavior and inequality? CEBI at the University of Copenhagen invites ambitious candidates to join our PhD programme, starting 1 September 2025.
As a PhD Fellow at CEBI, you will be part of a leading research community, tackling some of today’s most urgent questions about economic inequality: What drives disparities in income, health, and opportunity across societies? How do policy interventions reshape economic and social outcomes? And what role do behavioral factors play in sustaining or reducing inequality?
With access to Denmark’s globally unique data resources, you’ll explore these issues in depth, combining insights from Public Economics, Labor and Health Economics, Behavioral Economics, and more. Supported by the Danish National Research Foundation, CEBI merges administrative data with behavioral experiments and surveys to offer an unmatched empirical foundation for your research. This is more than a PhD — it is a chance to work with world-class mentors on questions that matter, using advanced methodologies to make a meaningful impact.
CEBI is looking for one or more excellent new PhD Fellows who have competencies in these fields, and are interested in doing empirical research on economic behaviour and inequality. The current group includes 13 senior researchers, 8 junior researchers, 16 PhD students, 8 research assistants and 9 international researchers from Harvard University, UC Berkeley, New York University, Princeton University and University of Zürich.
FURTHER INFORMATION: For further information about CEBI see: https://www.econ.ku.dk/cebi

PhD Scholarship as part of the research project “The Role of Preferences and Beliefs in Shaping Physician Careers”, CEBI, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)
The Department of Economics and CEBI is pleased to announce openings of a fully-funded PhD scholarship as part of the research project “The Role of Preferences and Beliefs in Shaping Physician Careers”. This project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
You will be involved in research centered at the high-skilled labor market for physicians. Health care sectors across the world are challenged by physician shortages to match increasing demands for care. Failure to recruit and retain a diverse group of physicians in health care can be catastrophic for public health and individual patients. It can further increase inequality in access to health care, extend waiting lists unnecessarily, and keep talents of different genders and backgrounds from pursuing a medical research career within the profession. Our hypothesis is that individual physicians’ preferences, circumstances, and beliefs determine career aspirations, their realized career and family outcomes. We ask two overarching questions: 1) How are physician beliefs about career and family trade-offs shaped over the life-cycle? 2) How do preferences, circumstances and beliefs impact aspirations and realized outcomes? Using survey experiments linked at the individual level to data from administrative sources, including a randomized lottery that determines physicians’ first jobs, we will disentangle how different mechanisms causally shape physician preferences, beliefs and careers.
Join the project and collaborate with Torben Heien Nielsen (Professor at the Department of Economics) and Frederik Plesner Lyngse (Assistant Professor of Health Economics at the Department of Public Health). Successful candidates will not only work closely with senior researchers but also have the chance to pursue independent research. We therefore invite you to include a description of a potential independent research project in your application. Your description should articulate and justify a research question, as well as discuss data sources and empirical designs to address it.
2/3 of the scholarship is funded by the specific project “The Role of Preferences and Beliefs in Shaping Physician Careers”. The remaining 1/3 is funded by CEBI.
As a PhD Fellow you will be affiliated with Center for Economic Behavior and inequality, CEBI, a center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The main goal of CEBI is to provide cutting-edge empirical research on the role of behavior in generating inequality and its underlying sources. CEBI combines several fields and methods: Public Economics, Labor Economics, Health Economics, Behavioral Economics, Household Finance, Political Economics, Microeconometrics, Experimental and Survey Methods and Structural Modelling. The current group includes 14 senior researchers, 11 junior researchers, 12 PhD students, 7 research assistants and 7 international researchers from New York University, Pompeu Fabra University, Princeton University and University of Zürich. For further information about CEBI see: https://www.econ.ku.dk/cebi
