Job description

Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) is a joint research institute of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) and the Erasmus School of Economics (ESE). Each year, ERIM initiates new and internationally oriented PhD research projects focusing on pioneering and innovative research in the fields of management and business research. For more information about ERIM please visit www.erim.eur.nl.

We have opened the applications process for the Fulltime PhD programme starting in September 2024. The applications deadline is 15 January 2024

Contribute scientifically to Strategy and Entrepreneurship  
The Strategy and Entrepreneurship programme focuses on strategic renewal and firm performance and how the drivers of both can bring about purposeful change within organisations.

The four research themes of the Strategy and Entrepreneurship programme are: corporate governance and competitiveness, entrepreneurship, global strategy, and new managerial roles & organisational forms. Although each draws on its own methodological traditions, faculty members necessarily apply a wide range of methods and frequently rely on meta-analysis, event history modelling, fs/QCA, and ethnographic observations.

RSM currently offers the following PhD projects within its S&E research programme at ERIM:

-          PhD in Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship

In addition to the PhD programme in Strategy & Entrepreneurship (S&E), ERIM offers fully funded PhD research projects in: Business Processes, Logistics and Information Systems (LIS), Organisation (ORG), Marketing (MKT), and Finance & Accounting (F&A). For a list and detailed description of all current ERIM PhD Vacancies, please visit the ERIM website.
