Are you planning to start an Economics PhD in October 2027? Don’t miss the opportunity to apply for one of the University of Liverpool Management School’s 4-year Graduate Teaching Fellowships (GTFs). Receiving one of our GTFs gives you the funds to launch your academic career, while you gain valuable teaching training and experience to become a rounded scholar:
- £21,805 annual maintenance grant (for four years)
- Full coverage of PhD programme fees (for four years)
- HE teacher training and practice.
This means that as well as pursuing your PhD research, you’ll also be involved in a fixed number of teaching hours during your time with us. In year one, alongside your specific PhD research modules, you’ll complete a short teacher training programme by the University of Liverpool. As well as gaining a formal HE teaching qualification, you’ll learn key pedagogical skills for the academic job market, primarily through shadowing mentored classroom involvement. During the remainder of your PhD, you’ll have the opportunity to put your research skills into practice while completing your doctoral research thesis. Stipend amount of £21,805 for 2026/27 is for guidance purposes only and subject to change.
Who is this for? These studentships are open to full-time PhD students worldwide. You’ll need a UK master’s degree, or international equivalent, in economics or a related discipline, preferably at merit or above, plus demonstrable quantitative and programming skills. If you’re a suitable candidate, we’ll contact you directly and invite you to submit a formal application. Please, be aware that applicants who skip the steps above will not be considered for a GTF position.
You're welcome to suggest potential supervisors in your application, although this is not compulsory. If you would like to do so, please check our list of Economics experts to review their research areas and visit their individual profiles. We'll take into consideration your suggested supervisors when we review your application, but please bear in mind that we'll make the final decision after assessing who the best match for your intended research project is.
