Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) is hiring PhD students in Business Administration.

As a PhD student you will be enrolled in a highly qualified education within a thriving research environment. For more information about our PhD program, please visit https://ju.se/en/research/doctoral-programmes/doctoral-programmes-at-jibs.html.

You will also get many opportunities for enhancing your teaching skills and for personal development. We offer fully financed positions to our doctoral students who receive competitive salaries for their work as employees of JIBS. Most of your time will be devoted to your doctoral studies (80%) which includes coursework and writing a doctoral thesis. The coursework includes both mandatory and elective courses. The remaining time (20%) is allocated for teaching and administrative tasks. There are also opportunities to take additional courses in pedagogics for higher education.

We will hire several doctoral students on a full-time basis (100%) with start from September 1, 2022. We seek candidates who have a strong drive to conduct high-quality academic research within one of the focus areas of JIBS: entrepreneurship, ownership, or renewal and who are motivated to pursue an international research career. Research at JIBS is organized within three research centers and we expect our PhD students to conduct research in relation to these centers, with a particular interest in one of the following areas:

Media, Management and Transformation Centre (https://ju.se/center/mmtc)

- Digitalization and globalization of business practices (such as supply chain management), industries (including legacy and new media sectors), and customer interactions, as well as digital entrepreneurship.
- Entrepreneurship, strategy and organizing for enhanced sustainability, including diversity and inclusion.
- Entrepreneurship, strategy, and organizing in new industries (such as esports and video game development, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence).

Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (https://ju.se/center/cense)

- External enablers of entrepreneurship, such as macro-economic shifts, demographic changes, or crises.
- Regional/spatial aspects of entrepreneurship, including entrepreneurship in rural and urban environments.
