Sustainable development in the global south
PhD Research Grants of up to £15,000 can fund research assistance, data collection and/or purchase, and stipends.
Research may focus on broad systemic patterns and processes of structural transformation and growth for low- and middle-income countries, in a comparative sense across time or space, or more narrowly defined topics related to one or more of the following six research themes:
- Data, measurement, and conceptual framing;
- Firms, frictions and spillovers, and industrial policy;
- Labour, home production, and structural transformation at the level of households;
- Agricultural productivity and sectoral gaps;
- Trade and spatial frictions;
- Political economy and public investment.
Other areas of interest may not fit cleanly into any of the themes but are centrally relevant to STEG and are also encouraged.
STEG is also focused around three cross-cutting issues that are simultaneously relevant to many areas of structural transformation, including the six research themes:
- Gender;
- Climate change and the environment;
- Inequality and inclusion.

Applications welcome from researchers all over the world, and encourage applications that propose collaboration between researchers from lower- and higher-income countries.
In view of the current political situation and the imposition of economic sanctions on various Russian entities by Western governments, STEG is not currently able to accept proposals for projects that include researchers or members of the research team who are based at Russian institutions.
