Description:
We are looking for two PhD students who would like to join the Agricultural and Food Economics group at the Department of Economics, SLU.

The PhD students will be expected to carry out supervised research leading to a PhD thesis as well as taking PhD courses to the equivalent of 90 credits. They are also expected to manage uneven workload.
In the Agricultural and Food Economics group you will be offered a stimulating context with colleagues who focus on various aspects of agricultural and food economics, including agricultural policy, trade and production economics. The group is intensively engaged in interdisciplinary approaches to encompass the empirical complexity of the agricultural sector and combine theoretical insights from the agricultural and food economics discipline with insights from other sciences, in particular the natural and behavioural sciences. For instance, the PhD project related to animal health economics will be conducted in close collaboration with researchers in animal management and health, as well as with the industry.
