The Business-Society Management department at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, seeks a highly motivated PhD student interesting in studying a topic related to how to better organize and manage organizations’ relationships with stakeholders and among stakeholders. “Better” refers here to a more positive impact on stakeholders, and especially the weakest ones among them (less qualified workers, minorities, less educated consumers, etc.), as well as society as a whole and the natural environment.

Strong applicants typically have backgrounds in business, economics, or psychology and are looking to pursue careers as world-class academic researchers. Students define and execute their own research projects with the support of their supervisory team. Creativity, self-direction, and a passion for scientific research are therefore essential qualities.
