2 Ph.D. positions at the Economic Department of the Erasmus University

Context. The candidates for this project will participate in the D&U
(Decision-and-Uncertainty; http://people.few.eur.nl/wakker/du/links.htm)
group. We are an enthusiastic and internationally active group,
specialized in decision theory, and we collaborate with psychologists,
mathematicians, management scientists, and health economists.

The Economics Department of the Erasmus University has more than 4000
students, and employs over 400 people. It has a long tradition of
research in a wide range of areas. Most of the research takes place
within the Tinbergen Institute in economics (http://www.tinbergen.nl)
and the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM;
http://www.erim.eur.nl/ERIM).

Title of the Project. Risk and Rationality: Using Empirical Findings
from Prospect Theory to Improve Rational Decisions in Health and Other
Fields.

Description. Prospect theory, the model for decision under risk
introduced by Kahneman & Tversky (1979), is immensely popular in many
fields. Its importance was recognized through the 2002 Nobel prize in
economics. Their paper is the 2nd most cited paper published in any
economic journal (see Table A.10 on p. 88 at
http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~tcoupe/updaterevealedperformances.pdf).
Prospect theory assumes that, besides (i) rational factors based on
utility and additive probabilities that are studied in classical
approaches, other factors play a role. Such factors are (ii) people's
sensitivity towards (lack of) information, modeled through subjective
probabilities that may be nonadditive, and (iii) loss aversion-the
special sensitivity of people towards losses. These factors shed, for
instance, new light on the irrational reactions of people to financial
risks and on the damages that can result from such irrationalities.
Remarkably, only few theoretical results have been developed for
prospect theory, and empirical tests have so far been based on ad hoc
interpretations. This project will develop both theoretical foundations
and critical empirical tests for risk and for ambiguity (unknown
probabilities). It applies its findings primarily to the health domain,
and further to insurance, experimental economics, finance, psychological
judgment and decision making, and/or other areas, depending on the
candidate's background and interests.

Requirements. The desired candidates have a Master's degree in a
quantitative discipline. Knowledge of mathematics, health economics,
game theory, statistics, econometric analyses, psychological judgment
and decision, and/or programming skills are a plus.

Conditions. We search for two candidates. The positions will be for a
maximum of four years. The gross monthly salary will be minimally � 2000
in the first year, increasing to � 2,558 in the fourth year. There will
also be an 8% holiday allowance.

Applications. Please email applications, including a cover letter
(explanaining why you and this position fit together), and a CV, to
Peter Wakker (Wakker [at] few.eur.nl) as soon as possible. In the case
of future rounds we will ask for letters of recommendation.

Further Information can be obtained from either of the two supervisors,
namely

Professor Peter Wakker (http://people.few.eur.nl/wakker/index.html) and
Professor Han Bleichrodt (http://people.few.eur.nl/bleichrodt).

Application has to be received by 31. January 2009.

Scholarships for the Graduate Program in Economics and Finance
CEMFI, Madrid (Spain)

At CEMFI we train students for careers as professional or academic
economists. Our graduates acquire the quantitative tools and research
skills to work as economists in business, finance, government, and academia.

The basic graduate offering at CEMFI is its highly prestigious Master in
Economics and Finance. Unlike many Master programs in the US and
elsewhere, ours is self-contained and offers a well respected qualification.

CEMFI grants a subset of its Master students exemptions from the tuition
fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000
per year. They are granted according to academic merit. In previous
years, the Fundaci�n Carolina, in cooperation with the Fundaci�n BBVA,
has endowed several scholarships for Latin American students of the
Master. If new grants are endowed, they will be announced on CEMFI�s web
page.

An important distinguishing feature of our Master is that it lasts for
two years, the second being essential for shaping the skills of our
graduates. The first year consists of basic graduate coursework and some
optional subjects. The second year includes specialized courses and
research training through a Master thesis. Our ratio of students to
faculty is between four and five. Thus we can devote a lot of attention
to each student. This is particularly important for the Master thesis,
where the faculty provides guidance to a unique degree.

Members of CEMFI�s faculty publish in top journals and are research
leaders in their fields. They are also editors of prestigious journals
and are key players at leading learned societies such as the European
Economic Association and the Econometric Society.

Our Master students get very good jobs as economists. For example, in
positions dealing with portfolio and risk management, macroeconomic
forecasting, policy evaluation, or microeconomic consultancy. CEMFI has
been building a reputation for more than 20 years and a degree from
CEMFI provides a strong signal of quality, regularly confirmed by the
market. Moreover, we run an experienced and efficient job placement service.

Students interested in furthering their research training, either
because they aim for a professional career with a stronger research
content or because they aim for an academic position, will continue to
develop their research skills for another three years and complete the
PhD program. Graduates from CEMFI�s PhD program have published papers
from their dissertation in top journals and we have an excellent record
in the PhD job market.

Admission to the PhD program at CEMFI is through the Master. All
students admitted to the PhD program obtain a scholarship, either from
an external source or from CEMFI. For more information on admission and
scholarship applications, please visit: http://www.cemfi.es. For any
queries, feel free to contact: admissions@....


Application has to be received by 6. April 2009.

PhD Studentship, University of Cambridge: History of the Placenta
since 1750

Supervisors: Martin H. Johnson and Nick Hopwood

The Centre for Trophoblast Research at the University of Cambridge
aims to fund up to three PhD studentships at Wellcome Trust rates
starting in October 2009 for three years of full-time research
. We are
offering a project on the history of the placenta.

The placenta has a rich and important past that has yet to attract
sustained historical attention. Possible projects could focus on such
various aspects as anatomy, physiology and evolution, pathological
examination and legal regulation, midwifery, obstetric and lay
practices, and claims as to the placenta's special powers. There is
wide scope to choose a topic of interest in a period since 1750 and
with an appropriate geographical location.

Supervision will be provided by Martin H. Johnson (Physiology,
Development and Neuroscience) and Nick Hopwood (History and
Philosophy of Science). The project will benefit from participation
in the University's programme of historical research on generation
and reproduction and specifically on embryology.

Interested students (UK, EU or overseas) should have at least a high
upper second (or equivalent) in a first degree, preferably in the
biological sciences, and ideally also a strong performance in a
master's in history of science and/or medicine. We invite initial
expressions of interest, including a CV and sample of written work,
by 10 December 2008 for a Centre deadline of 9 January and interview
on 28 January 2009.
