February 16, 2024 |

In cooperation with the EWI, the University of Cologne is offering the EWI Doctoral Fellowship for doctoral students in energy economics for the second time. Interested candidates can apply for the EWI Fellowship until March 31, 2024.

The Cologne Graduate School (CGS) in Economics, Management, and Social Sciences at the University of Cologne together with the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI) offers a doctoral fellowship programme in energy economics. It comprises education and supervision for acquiring a Doctoral Degree or a PhD at the Faculty of Management Science, Economics, and Social Sciences at the University of Cologne. The fellowship is devoted to EWI’s research topics:

  • Energy Markets and Energy Carriers
  • Decarbonisation and Sector Coupling
  • Market Design and Regulation
  • Digitalisation and Decentralisation.

EWI Doctoral Fellows enrol into the Doctoral Study Programme in Economics or the PhD Programme in Economics at CGS, obtain a three-year doctoral scholarship, take part in the doctoral programme at EWI, and have the option to take up a part-time position at EWI as a research assistant.

Unique academic environment

Combining one of CGS’s structured graduate programmes with EWI’s research agenda and activities provides a unique and inspiring academic environment. Qualified students without sufficient economics training will also receive additional education and a corresponding extension of the fellowship period (“Economics Booster”).
