RES PhD Presentation Meeting and Job Market

The aim of the event is to provide a service both for UK and European university economics departments who wish to recruit lecturers, and for PhD students seeking academic jobs in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. This annual meeting has grown to be an extremely successful event, well supported by both students and potential employers. The event consists of two days of students' presentations and poster sessions. Participating institutions attend these presentations and are also allocated space at the conference site in order to arrange individual appointments with participating students during the course of the conference. 

The 2012 Royal Economic Society PhD Presentation meeting was held at on 21/22 January at QMUL London and was a huge success. Out of 300 initial submissions, 200 people presented their research papers, consisting of approximately 150 contributed talks and 50 posters.
The event was also attended by about 80 Economics staff from around 30 other institutions, plus external visitors and our own students and staff, bringing the total count to over 300.

Junior Fellowship Scheme

RES ONE-YEAR JUNIOR FELLOWSHIP AWARDS

The Society is able to offer at least 6 one-year junior fellowships, tenable at Universities in the United Kingdom. The amount of the fellowship is currently set at £8,000 (£11,000 in London). This sum will be paid to  Universities, which will make appropriate arrangements for paying the recipients of the fellowship awards at regular intervals.

Candidates should have completed at least two years' work towards a doctoral thesis when they take up an award. Those who have already completed their doctorates may also be considered, upon application to the Secretary-General.

Those awarded Fellowships must now  undertake a minimum of 30 hours teaching, plus 15 hours preparation time, in the academic year. The maximum amount of teaching (including tutorials/supervisions undertaken for Colleges) is 60 hours, excluding 20 hours preparation time.

Students who already have full financial support for the academic year are not eligible for a fellowship award.

Applications must be submitted by the candidate’s Head of Department and those awarded Fellowships must submit a report to the Secretary-General of the Society at the end of the academic year. Universities will be invited by the Secretary-General of the Society to make application for the awards in the Spring of each year.
