University of Groningen (The Netherlands)
Faculty of Economics and Business - PhD positions Economics and Business (13,0 fte)

SOM, the graduate school and research institute of the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) has available 13 PhD positions in Economics and Business.

On 1 September 2010 SOM's PhD programme will start. The aim of the programme is to turn out highly qualified researchers. For this purpose, SOM offers PhD positions to excellent candidates who recently graduated. The PhD candidates will work on an individual project, leading to a doctoral dissertation. In the initial period, students are offered courses in relevant fields and research methods. The courses in the PhD programme are taught in English. During the remaining period, PhD students will work on their thesis. Work on the dissertation is carried out under supervision of SOM fellows. Supervision is close and the PhD students are encouraged to present papers at international conferences and to publish in recognised international journals.

After the first year there will be an assessment of the candidate's results and the project's progress. Part of that is that the PhD student will have to defend his/her research proposal. Based on this, it will be decided whether a project will be continued.
