CRESI Doctoral Programme

CRESI welcomes applications from doctoral candidates interested in pursuing innovative research in the field of economic sociology. Supervision is available across a wide range of topics and approaches. At CRESI, doctoral students are encouraged to be very much 'part of the team', adding another dimension to an already supportive research environment.

The series of seminars and workshops undertaken by CRESI will assist in the development of exciting and well-founded research projects. Alternatively, the contribution of postgraduate researchers to our existing areas of research excellence is also welcomed.

At CRESI, we are able to provide world class supervision for the development of methodological and theoretical skills in socio-economic enquiry. Our broad-based approach to the subject area allows for a diverse and stimulating research culture that will introduce emerging scholars to new ways of thinking about the nexus between economy and society.
