Dear list-members

There is an opportunity for a student to read for 
a PhD in Economics, specialising in the history 
and/or philosophy of the discipline, at City 
University London from October 2010.

Good students will be able to apply for a 
University Research Studentship worth nearly £15K 
per year and full remission of fees 
(<http://city.ac.uk/research/resdegrees/studentships.html>http://city.ac.uk/research/resdegrees/studentships.html). 
Unsuccessful applicants may apply for a Departmental bursary.

The applicant will need to be interested in 
completing a thesis in the area of the history 
and/or the philosophy of economics, and will have 
some overlap with my areas of interest – the 
methodology of orthodox and heterodox schools of 
thought in economics, social ontology, 
reductionism and holism.  I have published on 
Smith, Malthus, Keynes, Hayek, rhetorical 
strategies in economics, and the methodology of 
the Austrian and neoclassical schools, and am 
currently working on a century of methodological 
individualism.  More information can be found on 
my personal web page at 
<http://www.staff.city.ac.uk/andy.denis/research/research.html>http://www.staff.city.ac.uk/andy.denis/research/research.html 
.

The deadline for the University Research 
Studentship is Monday 25 January 2010, so 
candidates will need to move fast to discuss 
their proposal with me.  It is essential for a 
successful proposal to have internal support.

Please do not hesitate to pass this on to potentially interested candidates.

With best wishes for the New Year

Andy Denis
