St Andrews–Max Planck PhD studentship in population, health and data science

We are delighted to advertise a new 3.5 year PhD scholarship, the St Andrews–Max Planck PhD studentship in Population, Health and Data Science.  The PhD studentship is funded by the University of St Andrews and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR). The PhD student will be working on a project on fertility dynamics and patterns in high-income countries. The project will investigate recent fertility trends in high-income countries and how fertility dynamics are related to changes in individuals’ other life domains e.g. partnerships, education, employment, housing and to changes in their socio-economic context. The project will involve analysis of individual-level data from high-income countries (including the UK). 

Please see under 'current funded opportunities' for details about the project, eligibility, funding and how to apply.

The deadline to apply is Tuesday 10 June 2025.
