Scholarship Description: The Behavioral Science group at WBS focuses on the interaction between
the natural and social science approaches to understanding behavior. The group
is highly interdisciplinary, using methods drawn from psychology, economics,
philosophy, and statistics. The group conducts basic and applied research, and
has many links to industry.
Warwick Business School (WBS) is pleased to invite applicants for six fully
funded PhD Studentship.
-One studentship will be funded by the Leverhulme Trust programme award on
Value. The topic areas can include how people arrive at values under risk and
uncertainty and over time, or how individual values may be elicited and aggregated
for public policy purposes. Applicants with a background in microeconomics,
welfare economics and/or the psychology of judgment and decision making are
particularly invited to apply. Supervision will be by Graham Loomes and Daniel
Read from Behavioural Science.
-One studentship will be funded by the ESRC Network for Integrated Behavioural
Science, to investigate affective forecasting, context and the valuation of
public goods. Students should have backgrounds in relevant disciplines
including psychology, economics or complexity science. Supervision will be by
Nick Chater from Behavioural Science, and Gordon Brown from Psychology.
-Two studentships will be funded by a European Research Council project on the
topic of Rationality. Applicants with interests in either human inference or
learning from both an experimental and a computational point of view would be
particularly welcome. An interest in Bayesian and/or simplicity-based models of
cognition would be an advantage. Supervision will be by Nick Chater, and other
members of the Behavioural Science group.
-Two studentships will be funded by the EPSRC, and are joint with Behavioural
Science and the Global Energy Group. These studentships focus on how people
make decisions about heating and cooling in residential markets. This will be
applied research, involving business case analysis, field research and
experimentation. Students with backgrounds in engineering psychology, human
factors or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. Supervision will be by
David Elmes from Global Energy, and Daniel Read from Behavioural Science.
