IER News & blogs

Hilda Ragnarsdottir, IER final year PhD student, has been awarded a part-time IAS Early Career Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Warwick starting in October as she will be submitting her thesis at the end of September.

The latest UK labour market data confirms the transformation anticipated in previous quarters, with modest headline improvements obscuring significant structural changes. Unemployment rose to 4.7%, the highest since early 2021, whilst employment rates edged up to 75.2%.

Graduation provides a welcome opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the successes of our students. This past academic year, two IER PhD students successfully completed their PhD studies, Dr Andreana Glendinning and Dr Danya Nusseir. We also had the opportunity to belatedly celebrate the graduation of Dr Xiaotong Zhang.
