Overview
PhD Positions in Urban Studies: 7 Days to the Deadline! Only 7 days left to apply for our paid PhD positions in “Urban Studies and Regional Science” at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (L'Aquila, Italy). Eight positions are available; the doctoral training is four years, starting in November 2018. The methodological perspective in research and teaching is multidisciplinary. Approaches, methods, and topics from the various fields that comprise urban studies—human geography, spatial planning, urbanism, urban politics and policies, urban sociology, and ethnography—are welcomed. We also welcome applications from candidates more oriented toward regional science, such as economic geographers or economists. Candidates need not have a background in both urban studies and regional science; expertise in one of the two fields is sufficient.
