Stipends for PhD studies
Stipends for PhD studies at the Department of Business Administration
1–2 PhD candidates in Business Administration, specifically Strategy and Finance, with a focus on sustainable development within industry, public agencies and the financial market
Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) and the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) establish a joint center for sustainable enterprises and sustainable development: SSCEN. A rapid transformation of businesses and industry, facilitated by government policy, is necessary in the next 5–10 years to reach climate, biodiversity and other sustainability goals. It entails changes in production and consumption, increased resource efficiency and circularity, new sectoral couplings, value-chains, and business models. Change is expected at different levels, from strategic re-orientation in individual companies to large parts of the financial system, and from changes in consumer preferences to international environmental, climate and trade policy. To develop new knowledge and address these challenges the research is broad, interdisciplinary, and aimed at finding solutions. It is shaped and undertaken in close collaboration with businesses, the public sector, and other actors. SSCEN is led by five senior researchers from LUSEM and LTH and initially 4 PhD students and several post-docs will be recruited.
