The studentship will be funded by the Social Science Faculty, with part funding coming from the Leverhulme Trust.  The successful candidate would work with Dabo Guan, Professor of Climate Change Economics at UEA as well as receiving co-supervision from other colleagues within the School of International Development. 

The Studentship covers tuition fees, a tax-free maintenance grant (currently £13,726 per year), and a research training support grant. UK/EU and international students are welcome to apply and the fee difference would be included in the award.
