Information for Recruiters
Located in Germany’s Ruhr Valley Region, the Ruhr Graduate School in Economics (RGS Econ) trains doctoral students in Economics in a highly selective structured PhD program in accordance with the highest standards. Our graduates have completed high quality PhD dissertations and professionally communicated their research in conferences and workshops in an international research environment.

This environment provides our students with excellent supervision and expertise and gives them a unique exposure to a combination of academic and applied research in almost all areas of economics.

You can find their profiles and research interests and qualifications here. Student's who specifically also target the academic job market often advertise their profiles here.
