| | Re: PHD in Switzerland? | Quote: | |  | | | The reason i think this focus on the "uniqueness" of research makes my goal harder in Switzerland is that it is traditionally scientific methodology being applied in an interpretivist paradigm. I've seen some signs of more holistic, interdisciplinary (dare i say 'postmodern'?) work going on here but less acceptable than i was used to on my Masters in England. | | | | | I also studied in the UK and am looking for a PHD place and also have the same problem as you - just in a different subject. I can't really help you at all, but I thought my experience might make you feel less lonely

I am confused as you , and I have done some of this stuff. this sounds like BS bingo : "This is very much getting into trying to not give into the complexities of sociopolitical decision situations but to try and facilitate the management of them." dave | Quote: | |  | | | That sounds even more unclear than before for me .
Are you trying to say that given the dynamism of "sociopolitical decision situation" and the "uniqueness of stakeholders' values" you need to develop each time a new "decision model" ? | | | | | |

I have to agree. Clear it isn't. I suggest reading a few of the wonderful Cosma Shalizi's notebooks (there's only one Cosma, but 400 notebooks). He knows how to explain complexity, social networks, Monte Carlo & more statistics than you can eat. Also has the best and rudest review of the awful "A new Kind of Science".
Other suggestions: 1) the excellent Didier Sornette, statistical physicist turned "Professor of entrepreneurial (?) risk" at ETHZ. He must be busy these days! 2) University of Fribourg has a famous department of econophysics.

The Muffin Research Kitchen has obviously moved on since such things pooted-forth.

I'm reading the funding <4000k/mo figures that are being described for full-time Phd work and they seem awfully low.
Is anyone out there performing commercial research for Phd, DSc, DBA or similar and combining it with getting paid by a commercial enterprise, at a decent rate ? This obviously if you have the requisite professional work experience to start with. Someone told me the other day that they are continuing a proper job 3 days a week and doing Phd stuff the other two...
