Dear all, Dublin City University is leading an EU-funded (H2020) European Training Network entitled "*Global India <https://www4.dcu.ie/ireland-india-institute/Global-India.shtml>*". This is a collaborative PhD programme involving six leading European universities, six leading Indian universities, and six non-university partners.
We are currently advertising three-year PhD scholarships under this programme. One of the scholarship themes is "*Energy security and sustainable development: conflicting priorities in EU-India relations*". A brief description of the proposed topic is below, though this is intended to provide guidance and applicants are welcome to shape this according to their own interests: Despite seemingly complementary interests in the fields of energy and environment, India and the EU have struggled to forge a cooperative relationship in these areas. A changing geopolitical landscape, including the election of US president Donald Trump, has made the search for common ground between other key players on climate and development, including India and the EU, more important than ever. This PhD project will evaluate the respective approaches of India and the EU and institutional mechanisms for cooperation as a basis for explaining this aspect of the EU-India relationship. The successful applicant will be based primarily in Dublin City University for the PhD and will spend one semester at one of the Indian partner universities as well as having a work placement in one of the non-university partners. Applicants must have a masters degree in a relevant discipline, and excellent English. They must have less than 4 years (full time equivalent) research experience, and cannot already hold a doctorate. Mobility rules stipulate that candidates must not have lived for more than 12 months in Ireland during the three years prior to 1 September 2017. The salary will be €37,903 per year, while those with dependent family will be paid a higher rate of €42,492 per year (both subject to Irish taxation and deductions). DCU has been in the top 50 international universities under 50 years old in the QS "Top 50 Under 50" rankings for the past four years, and was ranked in the top 150 universities globally in Politics and International Studies in the most recent QS subject rankings.
