What is a PhD programme?

A PhD is usually a 3-year (180 ECTS) academic research degree. The components of the programme are:

• Independent research under supervision
• Courses for PhD students (approximately 30 ECTS credits)
• Participation in research networks, including placements at other, primarily foreign, research institutions
• Teaching or another form of knowledge dissemination, which is related to the PhD topic when possible.
• The completion of a PhD thesis. The thesis can be a 200-page article or a collection of shorter research articles. The thesis is defended orally.

PhD programmes and courses are offered at Danish universities , which all offer excellent research, library and laboratory facilities for researchers and PhD students in addition to joint partnerships with industry.

PhD students are often encouraged to participate in research networks, including placements at overseas research institutions. A range of funding opportunities are available: Please visit the Researchers Mobility Portal for more information.

Who can apply?

As each institution in Denmark is responsible for its own admissions, requirements will vary. However, you will usually be required to have a recognised Masters degree in a relevant subject in order to be enrolled as a PhD student. Also, the applicants should also have good command of the English language.

For the students, who know that they want to pursue the researcher-path early on, the faculties have the option of starting a research degree directly after a bachelor’s. If this is the path you want to take, you can start a so-called 3+5 programme, which means starting your PhD and master's at the same time. Some faculties have a 4+4 programme where you can start your PhD after a year of master’s studies. The Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen offers these two programmes, for example. Each individual universitiy lays down its own rules regarding this type of hybrid PhD. An example of this is Aarhus University’s 4- and 5-year PhD scholarships .

What should I include in my application?

In Denmark you must apply for PhD programmes in writing via advertised projects and scholarships . Usually, you either apply for an opportunity with a pre-defined research topic, or you propose your own research ideas.

You also have to include a transcript of your grades for your bachelor’s and master’s degrees with documentation of your grades, and a CV.

How can I finance my PhD?

For students from the EU/EEA/Switzerland higher education in Denmark is free

You may be eligible for free tuition as an international student, provided you meet one of the following conditions:

• You hold a permanent residence permit
• You hold a temporary residence permit that can be upgraded to a permanent one
• You hold a residence permit as the accompanying child of a non-EU/EEA holding a residence permit based on employment

All other students pay tuition fees. The fee is 50,000 DKK per year, i.e. 150,000 DKK for three years and is not postponed during any absence from the three-year PhD programme such as maternity/paternity leave, other leaves of absence or long-term illness.

The first rate is paid at enrolment, the second rate is paid in the first quarter of the calendar year following enrolment and the third rate is paid in the first quarter of the second calendar year following enrolment.

The grant provider must guarantee for the payment of the tuition fee for all three years when applying for enrolment.

The tuition fee covers

• PhD courses included in the Graduate School’s course catalogue
• PhD courses at other Danish universities and to some extent courses from other providers in Denmark or abroad
• Expenses regarding stays at other research environments in Denmark or abroad
• Activities in the graduate programmes
• Assessments and defense of your PhD thesis

Therefore, you have to be able to finance both your degree and your living costs. You can do this in several different ways:

Industrial PhD

If you aim to conduct a research project with commercial perspectives, you can apply for an industrial PhD. You will be employed by a private sector company and at the same time enrolled as a PhD student at the Graduate School at a university.

As an industrial PhD student you will carry out research where results are applied in an enterprise setting. The cooperation between university and industry gives you access to new knowledge and innovation provided by the private sector company.

Application process for the industrial PhD

• Start by finding a private sector company and a university supervisor for your PhD project.
• The private sector company must send an application to Innovation Fund Denmark to apply for the industrial PhD grant on your behalf.
• If successful, you can apply for enrolment at the Graduate School.

Visit the website of Innovation Fund Denmark to learn about application deadlines, requirements and how to proceed with your application.

How much can you expect to be paid as a PhD student?

If you are funded by a faculty  or a department, your salary is regulated by the Agreement between the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations and the Ministry of Finance (in Danish) (AC agreement). The average monthly salary for a PhD fellow at the University of Copenhagen is 32,567 DKK. After earning their doctorate , researchers go on to a postdoc which, in Denmark , can last up to four years at the same university.

PhD students employed at a hospital:

If you are employed at a hospital your salary follows the collective agreements in place at the Danish regions. In this agreement your employment depends on the degree you hold. Medical doctors are employed according to the collective agreement of the Danish Medical Association while other candidates are employed following the AC agreement. Contact your employer for more information.

Industrial PhD students employed by a private sector company

If you are employed as an industrial PhD student, your salary follows the collective agreement in place at your company. Contact your employer for more information.

Who gets accepted?

The head of the relevant PhD school decides which applicants will be accepted and enrolled into the programme – but of course it is not entirely at his/her own discretion. The applicants are selected based on a recommendation from the academic staff members on the faculty’s PhD committee.

During each lab rotation, you will be introduced to the lab’s primary research focus areas and techniques. You will also participate in lab research activities, journal clubs etc. Immediately after each lab rotation, you must prepare a report and a presentation of your lab experience that you will present to your fellow NAD fellows.

The intention behind doing 3 lab rotations in 3 different labs across Denmark is to give all NAD fellows an opportunity to try new research environments before deciding on a PhD laboratory. Thus, you will get the chance to expand your neuroscience research network, get familiar with new techniques and methodologies and also to experience and develop new collaborations. Terms are: If you have already done your bachelor’s or master’s thesis or if you have had a paid job in a laboratory, you cannot choose this laboratory for any of your lab rotations. There is no such restriction in regard to choosing your PhD laboratory.

It is a clear expectation from NAD that you will put together a meaningful and relevant pre-PhD year in order for you to get the most out of this opportunity.

In parallel with the lab rotations, you will participate in neuroscience courses and workshops offered by NAD. Also, you will participate in NAD retreats and networking events. Half-way through your third and final lab rotation, you must have identified your preferred NAD lab/supervisor and co-supervisor for your PhD project. In collaboration with your supervisors, you will then formulate a PhD project proposal and a PhD study plan which will have to be approved by NADs Executive Office as well as NAD’s Scientific Board. After approval, you must submit an application for enrolment with the Graduate School at your host university.

In 2024, the 3 lab rotation periods are as follows:

• 1 January – 10 March
• 11 March – 19 May
• 20 May – 28 July

From 29 July to 31 December, you will be affiliated with your PhD laboratory. In this period, you will write your PhD proposal.

Conditions for proceeding from the pre-PhD year to a 3-year PhD fellowship

NAD’s Executive Office and NAD’s Scientific Board will evaluate if you have completed the pre-PhD year satisfactorily based on the following criteria:

• Attendance and active participation in lab rotations – including lab work and completion of all three lab rotations. It is a requirement and a clear expectation from NAD that you are physically present in the laboratories that you choose for your lab rotations.
• Attendance and active participation in all courses, meetings, and assessments of own and fellow NAD PhD fellows
• Approved lab reports and presentations
• Approved PhD research plan by NAD Scientific Board
• Enrolment at the Graduate School of your host institution

The PhD project

Your enrolment and employment as a PhD student run in the period from 1 January 2025 up to and including 31 December 2027. During your 3 years as a PhD student, you must carry out your PhD research project, be actively involved in your research lab and take courses offered by your graduate school corresponding to 30 ECTS. In parallel, NAD will also offer several activities and events that we expect you to join. Here, you will get the chance to network with other PhD students, postdocs and scientists from the Danish neuroscience environment, take part in NAD’s mentor programme and join career events.

Frequently Asked Questions

My master’s degree is less than 120 ECTS. Can I still apply?

We can only take applicants with a master’s degree that is equivalent to a Danish master’s degree of 120 ECTS into consideration.

How can I check if my master’s degree from abroad is equivalent to a Danish master’s degree?

The Danish Ministry of Education and Research has guidelines. For assessments:  General assessments for specific countries  and here:  Assessment database . In case the NAD Executive Office is unsure about your ECTS, we will send your diplomas for assessment with the Danish Ministry of Education and Research.

Is it a requirement to have any publications already by the time of the NAD application deadline?

That is not a requirement. If you have already published, you are welcome to upload your publication list.

Does a manuscript in preparation count as part of a publication list?

A publication only counts after it has been published. However, you may add the manuscript as under preparation.

Programme start

When will the pre-PhD year start?

The pre-PhD year starts 1st of January 2024. All 16 selected NAD fellows will start on the same day.

Is the start date flexible?

The programme start date is a fixed date. All fellows recruited in 2023 will start 1st of January 2024.

When the 16 NAD fellows start, will they start directly in their 1st lab rotation?

Yes and no. The NAD Executive Office will arrange a meeting for all 16 newly recruited NAD fellows in the first week of January 2024. So, you will start physically in your first lab rotation Monday in week 2 of January. Here, you will meet the PI of the lab and your new colleagues. You will also be introduced to your project/tasks here.

Will NAD assist NAD fellows in finding accommodation near the labs?

NAD will not assist fellows directly in finding accommodation, but we will point out relevant housing resources.

Will NAD provide assistance to applicants who are relocating to Denmark with their families?

NAD will not assist families of international fellows relocating to Denmark.

When will my PhD study start?

The NAD programme is a 4-year programme. You will start with a pre-PhD year 1 st  of January 2024 consisting of three lab rotations and a PhD preparation period. Formally, your enrolment will start 1st of January 2025, but as an NAD Fellow, you will have 5 months with your PhD lab prior to the formal enrolment. Here, you will formulate your PhD project and complete all paperwork with the relevant graduate school.

Is the funding adequate for covering living expenses in Denmark?

Yes. During the pre-PhD year, you will be employed as a research assistant, and afterwards you will be employed as a PhD student. You will receive a monthly salary. Salary, pension and terms of employment are in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

Will the NAD assist non-EU citizens in applying for a visa?

Our HR department will assist you obtain a residence and work permit.

Programme content

Is the list of PI’s available for lab rotations final?

The list is dynamic, and PI’s are still joining the Research Columns.

Will we randomly be assigned three lab groups during the rotations, or can we choose the three groups/supervisors?

NAD will help you work out the practicalities and we will offer guidance with respect to your research interests. In the end, you choose the three lab rotations.

Does the three lab rotations have to be within the same Research Column?

No. It is up to each fellow to design his/her first year and thus put together a meaningful first year and thus three lab rotations that will prepare the fellow for the three-year PhD study.

Can a lab rotation take place outside of the NAD labs?

No, it cannot. All laboratories in Denmark working within neuroscience have already been asked if they are interested in joining NAD.

Can a fellow join a clinical department if they do not speak Danish?

Yes, but only in agreement with the hosting department.

Can a fellow participate in work with humans if they only have experience with animal experiments?

That will depend on the laboratory. If yes, then it will be under supervision, and some courses may be required.

Are there any opportunities to do clinical research during the programme?

We encourage all projects to be translational and to include clinical aspects. We aim to provide each student with one supervisor engaged in basic research and one engaged in clinical research.

Is it possible not to work with animal experiments at all during both the pre-PhD year as well as during the 3-year PhD study?

Yes, that will be possible. When designing your lab rotations, this is one of the questions you must ask potential PI’s.

How many courses will NAD arrange for the fellows during the pre-PhD year?

The pre-PhD year will encompass 3-4 course. They are all mandatory for NAD fellows.

What will be the content of the courses during the pre-PhD year?

The courses during the pre-PhD year will aim to expose fellows to the scientific breadth, expertise, and available techniques within the NAD community through lectures and exercises. These courses are also intended to highlight areas where fellows may wish to brush up on their knowledge through self-study. Finally, some course content will revolve around academic skills such as scientific writing and data handling. Courses are mandatory, though not graded.

Is it necessary to take all courses during the first year?

You must be able to attend the full curriculum during the first year. It is not possible to skip the first year.

Can a fellow do his/her PhD study in a lab that he/she did not join as part of the three lab rotations in the pre-PhD year?

Yes, that would be possible. The pre-PhD year introduces you to the Danish neuroscience environment, to the researchers, and to the research fields. You will meet potential supervisors, and supervisors will meet you. We suggest that you use the lab rotations to narrow down your field and to find out which kind of lab will be a fit for you.

Who will decide where the fellows will do their PhD studies?

Each fellow will make a decision on where he/she wants to do a PhD and then discuss with the relevant PI. You must take contact and start a dialogue with the PI whose lab you would like to join.

How will NAD support me during my PhD?

During your three years as a PhD student, you are enrolled and employed with your host lab. NAD will offer courses and networking opportunities during these three years and will also keep close contact with you. You are always welcome to reach out to the NAD Executive Office.

Public Health and Epidemiology - PhD Graduate Programme

The Graduate programme in Public Health and Epidemiology (PHE) covers a comprehensive area consisting of population-based epidemiology, clinical epidemiology, social medicine, environmental medicine, industrial medicine, research in prevention and health promotion, and health services research.

The areas carry a great deal of overlap and are central to our understanding of the occurrence and causes of diseases (both the surrounding environment and the individual factors), understanding of patient courses, the health services’ organisation and the effect of different strategies of prevention and health promotion. The many disciplines within the PHE programme have a common methodological basis in epidemiology and in biostatistics. PHE also attracts researchers from several clinical and theoretical institutes, as the research may comprise patient cohorts, genes, biomarkers and physiological processes in the search of causes for development of especially chronic diseases. Public health research makes up a substantial part of the translational research. PHE performs series of PhD courses within epidemiology and public health and often works together with the Graduate programme in  Biostatistics and Bioinformatics . The courses do not only apply to members of PHE, but also to a large number of other PhD students.

PHE is anchored in the  Department of Public Health   at University of Copenhagen. PHE is part of the national network of Graduate programmes in public health ( GRASPH ) comprising Aalborg University, Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen. The main purpose of the network is to organize a summer school.

How to enroll

Each student that apply for a PhD must be associated with a specific graduate program (GP). You choose this particular programme by checking it in the application form when applying for enrolment. 

Welcome meeting

You will be invited to a welcome meeting within approx. the first quarter following your enrolment. The next meeting will be on April 22, 2024 at CSS.

Here we will inform about the structure of the graduate programme and what it has to offer.   One of the PhD coordinators at the Department of Public Health will come and introduce themselves and a PhD student from the programme will share their advices and experiences. This is also an opportunity for you to meet other newly enrolled PhD students.

Lectures and Seminars

Apart from focusing on your own area of research, being a PhD student also provide you with an important opportunity to familiarize yourself with public health research in general. A broader understanding of methods and theory within public health may prove an important inspiration for developing your own research in an innovative way. We offer financial support for lectures/seminars/workshops arranged by PhD students. You can apply for support by mailing Lisbeth Lyng Hansen ( [email protected] ). Any such activities will be announced on our home page: https://phd-pubhealthepi.ku.dk/ . Here you can also keep you updated on upcoming epidemiological seminars hosted by Section of Epidemiology, Department of Public Health. Upcoming events will likewise be distributed by e-mail.

PhD courses

We have no mandatory courses in the programme. We are continuously working on securing more relevant courses within public health and epidemiology. Please feel free to contact Katrine Strandberg-Larsen directly, if you have suggestions for relevant courses that are lacking from our curriculum.

GRASPH Summer School

The graduate programme in Public Health & Epidemiology is part of a national network for research training in public health, GRASPH. The main activity of GRASPH is to organize an annual Summer School, https://phd-pubhealthepi.ku.dk/summer-school/. The Summer School lasts for two days and is usually held in May.

DENMARK: 16 PhD Fellowships in the field of Neuroscience

Neuroscience Academy Denmark (NAD) will recruit 16 excellent, highly motivated PhD Fellows to join a newly established neuroscience academy and PhD program to be launched the 1 st of January 2023. The candidates should be 16 talented students eager to pursue a career in basic or clinical neuroscience research, and with the ambition to excel. NAD is funded by the Danish Lundbeck Foundation and is a nationally concerted effort involving the neuroscience research environments at the medical faculties of Aalborg University, Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen, and The University of Southern Denmark involved in both preclinical and clinical research.

The vision of NAD is to bring training and education in neuroscience in Denmark to the highest international level, to ensure interdisciplinarity, high-quality teaching and training to educate Danish and international PhD students.

The successful applicants will first be hired as research assistants for 1 year. Provided that you obtain a positive assessment by the end of the pre-PhD year, acceptance of your PhD study plan, and enrolment at one of the participating graduate schools (i.e., PhD schools), the candidates will proceed to a 3-year PhD fellowship employment.

Program presentation

During your first year as research assistant (i.e., during the pre-PhD period), you will perform laboratory work and attend courses in neuroscience. You will also be invited for networking and career events. Go to NAD’s website to get familiar with the opportunities ( laboratories and potential supervisors ) that NAD and neuroscience in Denmarks offer.

3 x lab rotations

During the pre-PhD period, you will take part in a mandatory laboratory rotation program in 3 NAD laboratories (basic and/or clinical). The labs are located at different geographical locations (in Denmark), and you must be prepared to travel to and stay at the different sites in Denmark for 10 weeks at a time. During each lab rotation, you will be included in the research group and be part of its research activities, journal clubs etc. You will be introduced to the labs’ primary research focus areas and techniques. In parallel, you will join neuroscience courses offered by NAD. By the end of each lab rotation, you must prepare a report and presentation of your laboratory experience that you will present to the other NAD fellows. As a NAD Pre-PhD fellow, you will plan your lab rotations together with NAD.

Half-way through your third and final lab rotation, you must have identified your preferred NAD lab/supervisor and NAD co-supervisor that together will match your research interests. Together with your supervisor and co-supervisor, you will formulate a PhD project and a study plan, which will have to be approved by the NAD office. The conditions for proceeding to a 3-year PhD fellowship are 1) a satisfactory completion of the pre-PhD year, where the evaluation criteria are active participation in courses and rotations, approved lab reports and presentations, 2) approval of your PhD research plan by NAD’s Scientific Board, and 3) enrolment at a graduate school at one of the Health Faculties at one of the four participating universities.

The overall aim of the pre-PhD year is to strengthen your knowledge and basic understanding of neuroscience. NAD will offer workshops, seminars, symposia, and high-level courses in all areas of relevance for neuroscience research. You will be introduced to various techniques, methodological approaches, and viewpoints that you may use and combine to create your own PhD research plan.

Once enrolled at the relevant Health Graduate School at one of the participating universities, you will report to your supervisor(s) in the lab(s) where you will do your PhD thesis work.

During the 3 years as PhD Student, you must carry out your PhD research project, be actively involved in your research lab and take courses offered by your graduate school corresponding to 30 ECTS. In addition, NAD will offer several activities and events where you will be expected to participate. Here, you will get the chance to network with other PhD fellows, postdocs, and scientists from the Danish neuroscience environment, take part in NAD’s mentor program and join career events.

Denmark as an academic destination

This article guides you through Denmark's study options, which sounds like a fairy-tale country due to its title of one of the happiest countries in the world. Denmark is one of the smallest European countries, where you will enjoy academic hospitality and a number of quality, low-cost university degrees. 

The country has 31 universities, the majority of which are public universities. This partially explains why education is affordable in the country. 

The official language of communication is Danish; however, there are many courses offered in English. The widespread English language proficiency tests TOEFL and IELTS are accepted in the country for university applications. 

The general educational sector of Denmark is as followed. There are five main types of higher educational institutions in the country, which are described below. 

• In Academies of professional higher educations, you can receive short-cycle pre-Bachelor programs, called Academy Profession degrees. You might also meet this type of institution as Erhvervsakademier.
• There are also University colleges where you can receive professional degrees like other European countries' Bachelor's degrees. Those degrees take 3-4 years to complete, and in Danish, they are called Professionshøjskoler.
• Danish Universities offer long-cycle programs. Universities may be specialized in special fields, such as engineering, technology, and business, or contain different faculties. 
• University of the arts offers long-cycle programs like the Universities mentioned in the previous point. However, their focus is more on arts spheres such as visual arts, music, film, theatre, and media. The Danish Ministry of Culture regulates the majority of the University of Arts in Denmark. 

Denmark universities are affordable and even free for some groups of students, based on the country of citizenship. The details on this are going to be presented further in the article. For now, make yourself familiar with the Danish Government Scholarships under the Cultural Agreements . 

Those funding opportunities support highly qualified exchange students and young researchers who wish to study in Denmark in different fields. The Cultural Agreements fund both longer studies and summer short courses. 

Long-term scholarships are available to students from:

• South Korea

Summer courses are available to more than 35 European countries other than the mentioned. March 1st of every year is the deadline for applying to this scholarship. 

In addition to the mentioned scholarships, there are also Danish government scholarships for highly qualified non-EU/EEA students. Those scholarships are awarded to Danish universities, which independently decide what students are eligible for funding. 

The scholarship may cover both partial and full studies, and to receive it, you should consult with your chosen university advisors. Both the application details and deadlines will be told to you by your chosen educational institution. 

Universities in Denmark

The oldest and also the top University in Denmark is the University of Copenhagen . It was founded in 1479 and is the country's highest-ranked University in international rankings. The university researchers' alumni have nine Nobel Prizes. 

The second-ranked University is the Technical University of Denmark , which is focused on the spheres of natural and technical sciences. The University's Environmental Science course was included in the top 45th in 2020 global listings. 

Another top university in Denmark is Aarhus University , which provided research-based learning. The University's core area of specialization is Archaeology, which occupies the top 27 in the global rankings. 

Aalborg University ’s main building is in Aalborg, and tthe other campuses are in Esbjerg and Copenhagen. Aalborg University provides students with a real-world approach to learning. 

The last in the list of the best Danish universities is the University of Southern Denmark . The knowledge gained here helps students to succeed in different industries. Southern University has branches in different cities of Denmark, such as Odense, Salgelse, Kolding, Esbjerg, and Copenhagen. 

Student Expenses in Denmark

Tuition fees are free for EU/EEA/Switzerland students and for participants in exchange programs. If you are not a student from the mentioned groups, expect to pay 6,000-16,000 EUR per academic year in Denmark. 

There is also a second option for studying in Denmark tuition-free. Particularly, you should correspond to the following criteria to be free of tuition in the country:

• have a permanent residence in Denmark
• have a temporary residence which can lead to obtaining permanent residence

Among the total student expenses in Denmark, ⅓ goes to accommodation costs. The renting costs in Copenhagen vary around 800-900 EUR and around 400-670 outside of Copenhagen. 

You might also consider paying 250-300 EUR a month to reside in student halls of residence. 

Student Visa for Denmark

Similar to tuition fees, visa requirements are also privileged for EU/EEA/Switzerland students. They do not need a visa. They also don't need a permit to stay in the country for less than three months. There is a need to spend 255 EUR for students of other countries and apply for a residence permit. 

Nordic Citizens have even more privileges, as besides being free from visa and residence permit, they can even visit the country without a passport. You should just have some sort of ID card.

2024 STUDENT TRAVEL FELLOWS AND RESEARCH GRANT RECIPIENTS

The School of Architecture congratulates the recipients of the 2024 Travel Fellowships and Research Grants for their pursuit of advanced scholarship in design and planning studies. These awards support independent research projects and include a total of approximately $45,000 in funding.  

BENJAMIN C. HOWLAND TRAVEL FELLOWS

Ari bell, mla '25  madhura vaze, mla '24  .

The Howland Travel Fellowship supports focused research investigation and documentation of landscape or place, especially related to issues in the public realm. In 2024, the fellowship was awarded to two graduate landscape architecture students, Aril Bell and Madhura Vaze.  Ari Bell will investigate three European amusement parks, Bakken, Efteling, and Tibidabo, respectively located in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Spain. Bell hypothesize that the siting and evolution of these three amusement parks on edges between city and nature arises from the ways their respective societies have conceived of the role of nature and pleasure in urban life. For his project, he will pair visual and audio documentation with written and archival analysis to conduct a detailed inventory of each landscape. The exercise will help broaden the contemporary discourse on the relationship between nature and culture.

Madhura Vaze 's travel research aims to document the unstable glaciated landscape in the Garhwal Himalayas in India to understand how the dynamics of glacier retreat and processes of glacio-fluvial landscape erode the relational ethics of the public. The research will offer insights to expand the field of landscape architecture and translate it into the findings that eventually will be tied well to curating an immersive exhibit for the UVA community. "In an ever-changing environment, there is a need to look upstream instead of downstream to realize the complete reality of climate change," said Vaze.  

CARLO PELLICCIA TRAVEL FELLOW

Bernardo de magalhães e menezes, phd in the constructed environment candidate.

Bernardo de Magalhães e Menezes ' doctoral research examines the role of beauty in landscape architecture discourse as it emerged as a field of studies in U.S. academia during the early decades of the twentieth century. Having been selected as a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome (AAR) in Spring 2024, Menezes will utilize the support of the Pelliccia Travel Fellowship to further his research in Florence and Rome. His work aims to provide a detailed insight into the materials in the American Academy’s library and archives, collecting evidence informing us of the establishment, developments, and outcomes of the AAR fellowship program and its contributions to shaping the early landscape architecture theoretical discourse. The Pelliccia Travel Fellowship supports an independent study abroad, primarily located in Italy. 

SARAH MCARTHUR NIX TRAVEL FELLOW josephine Blount, M ARCH '25

The Nix fellowship supports the independent study of one architecture student over the course of a summer in France. For her research project, Josephine Blount will focus on adaptive reuse and building conversions as a response to the housing crisis, particularly exploring the differences between practices in France and the United States. Blount aims to analyze the operational dynamics, limitations, and techniques of such conversions, employing interdisciplinary methods including network analysis, systems diagramming, case study analysis, and interviews with various stakeholders. Her research seeks to contribute to discussions on architects' roles in supporting affordable housing and sustainable building practices, emphasizing the need for more inclusive and just approaches to urban development.

FANZONE TRAVEL AWARD Nishat Tasnim maria, Muep '25

The Fanzone Travel Award supports research travel to perform a summer independent study with a focus on the use of indigenous materials, local construction and fabrication practices. 

Nishat Tasnim Maria 's research project aims to investigate the impacts of climate-induced challenges on marginalized coastal communities in Koyra, Bangladesh, focusing on social and structural deprivation and indigenous knowledge. By employing mapping techniques, interviews, serendipity walks, and visual documentation, the study seeks to understand community experiences and identify indigenous design solutions rooted in local practices. Ultimately, Maria's research intends to propose equitable and sustainable neighborhood designs that integrate indigenous wisdom to address climate impacts and promote community resilience in vulnerable coastal regions.

SUSAN NELSON FLEISS TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP AUSTIN SMALL, BS ARCH '25

The Fleiss Travel Scholarship supports travel domestically or internationally for the purpose of research, design or personal development. 2024 Fleiss Travel Scholar,  Austin Small will travel to Croatia to study classical architecture and contemporary design, particularly exploring lesser-known Roman ruins along the Croatian coast. Small aims to document his experiences through observational drawing and photography, seeking to understand the relationship between architecture, landscape, and cultural development in response to historical occupations. By immersing himself in the local crafts and trades and reflecting on his experiences through visual and written documentation, Small hopes to enhance his skills as an artist and architect, with the intention of applying his insights to future architectural projects.

MIT economics to launch new predoctoral fellowship program

Press contact :.

Previous image Next image

The MIT Department of Economics is launching a new program this year that will pair faculty with predoctoral fellows.

“MIT economics right now is historically strong,” says Jon Gruber, the Ford Professor of Economics and department head of MIT economics. “To remain in that position involves having the resources to stay on the cutting edge of the research frontier, and that requires the use of predocs.”

The nature of economic research has changed enormously, adds Gruber, due to factors like the use of large datasets, innovations in experiment design, and comprehensive data analysis, all of which require the support of predocs. This new research model empowers economists to address national and global challenges in profound and much more effective ways.

The new predoc program is made possible by an ongoing major fundraising initiative in the department. 

Gruber gave credit to Glenn Ellison, the Gregory K. Palm (1970) Professor of Economics and former department chair, for working closely with Roger Altman, MIT Corporation member and the former head and current member of the visiting committee, to craft a vision for the future of the department that will ultimately include up to 24 predocs that would work for economics faculty at MIT. 

“It’s a great vision. They put a lot of work into it,” Gruber says.

With significant support from the Altman Family Fund, Gruber explains, the predoc program will be able to ramp up, providing predocs to the department’s junior faculty. He expects six predocs to start in the department this fall.

“We’ll have a wide range of junior faculty who will be using these predocs for a bunch of really interesting and important questions that are very data- and research-intensive,” Gruber says.

Tobias Salz, the Castle Krob Career Development Associate Professor of Economics, is one of the faculty members already benefiting from a pilot of the new program. He’s working on a large project on the search engine market.

“I am working with a predoctoral research fellow who has been instrumental in many parts of the project, including the design of an experiment and data analysis,” says Salz. “Initially, I was only able to hire him for one year, but with the new funding I am able to extend his contract. The predoctoral program has therefore helped ensure continuity on this project, which has made a big difference.”

Nina Roussille, assistant professor of economics, says her work will greatly benefit from collaborating with a predoc. Several of her projects either require the analysis of large, administrative datasets or the implementation of large-scale experiments.

“This kind of work will be greatly enhanced and streamlined with the help of a predoc to construct, clean, and analyze the data, as well as to set up the experiments and study their effects. This will free up some of my time to participate in more projects and allow me to focus my efforts on high-yield tasks, such as data analysis and paper writing,” says Roussille.

Roussille adds that she’s excited about the opportunity to mentor a young economist on the path to a PhD.

“They’ll greatly benefit from the vibrant research environment of the MIT economics department,” she said.

Gruber sees the program as mutually beneficial for both the predocs and the faculty.

“The advantage for the predoc is they get research experience and they get to know a faculty member,” adds Gruber. “The advantage for the faculty is they get to work with someone who wants to excel and make an impression with the person they research for.”

Beyond establishing the predoc program, this current fundraising initiative prioritizes building resources for faculty research in the Department of Economics. In addition to the gift from the Altman Family Fund to establish the predoctoral fellowship program, this fundraising initiative has secured several other significant contributions, including:  

• the creation of the Daniel (1972) and Gail Rubinfeld Professorship Fund, through the support of Dan Rubinfeld, PhD ’72;
• the Thapanee Sirivadhanabhakdi Techajareonvikul (1999) Professorship Fund, established by economics undergraduate alumna and her husband, Aswin Techajareonvkul MBA ’02;
• another endowed professorship in the department, through the support of an anonymous donor;
• the creation of the Locher Economics Fund, which will provide discretionary resources to support faculty research for the department, through the support of Kurt ’88, SM ’89, and Anne Stark Locher; and
• a gift to create the Dr. James A. Berkovec (1977) Memorial Faculty Research Fund in Economics, established by Ben Golub, ’78, SM ’82, PhD ’84.

To date, almost $30 million has been secured for these purposes, and efforts are ongoing.
