The PhD program in Economics of the Tuscan Universities is pleased to announce a supplementary call for applications for the 40th cycle. The second call for applications is open until July 30, 2025, with an additional week allowed for reference letters. Applications in Economic History are most welcome.

We are awarding 5 positions with full scholarships, distributed as follows:

3 are 'free topic': PhD candidates awarded shall carry out their research activities on a topic agreed upon with their thesis supervisor.

 2 are linked to specific research themes, for which a tailored research project must be submitted (normally, existing research projects can be easily adjusted to fit the CFA themes).

Candidates are required to apply to each type of position in separate procedures. Those applying to 'free topic' positions can submit a single application. For the two 'specific research themes', a separate application is necessary for each. We suggest potential candidates to apply to all positions - by applying first to the 'free topic' positions and adapt, when appropriate, their proposal to the thematic calls.

Deadline: July 30, 2025 (with an additional week allowed for reference letters)
