Proposed PhD projects should be anchored in the field of political economy, political science, or a related field with a focus on the case of Ukraine. The candidate should have excellent skills in quantitative methods.

  • Corruption and anti-corruption reforms in Ukraine

Recent EGB graduates have secured positions in leading universities, consultancies, and government agencies.

DIIS conducts and communicates high-quality multidisciplinary research and aims to be agenda-setting in research, policy and public debate. DIIS' research covers foreign, security and development policy.
