  • 1.  PhD Studentships at Cass Business School

    Posted 01-27-2014 15:30
    Applicants with excellent research potential are invited to apply for two fully-funded, full-time, 4- year Doctoral Studentships to commence in October 2014, working under the lead supervision of Professor Paula Jarzabkowski. These studentships will cover tuition fees and provide an annual bursary. Closing date 3 March 2014. Cass Business School, City University London is one of Europe’s leading providers of business and management education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and is fast developing into the intellectual hub of the City of London. The School is renowned worldwide for its extensive and high quality research and The Financial Times has ranked our PhD offering in the top 40 in the world every year since 2007. Proposals are invited in the area of Management covering the topic of practice theory approaches to strategy and organization. While the research context and topic is open, candidates taking an explicitly strategy-as-practice approach, and those with an interest in studying finance industries and/or financial risk are particularly welcome. One studentship is specifically open for those with a particular interest in the area of video ethnography. The successful applicant would take part in an existing video-ethnographic programme of research examining trading of risk in the reinsurance industry. Applicants for this studentship will join a team and an ongoing programme of research into the reinsurance industry at Cass. We invite applications from students who have (or can show evidence that they reasonably expect to have) a Masters degree from a leading university with top grades in business, sociology, anthropology or a relevant discipline for the topic areas. Only applicants interested in pursuing an academic career will be considered. How to apply: Applicants should contact Professor Paula Jarzabkowski directly to discuss their interest via email on P.Jarzabkowski@city.ac.uk. All applicants will also need to fill out the PhD application form, which may be accessed on the Cass Business School website: http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/courses/phd/how-to-apply.

    Dear S-as-P Colleagues,

    Our recent REF 2014 results place us 6th in the UK and highlight the world class quality of Cass research, recognising the impact it has on business, the professions and policymakers. Our faculty includes an outstanding array of scholars and influential thinkers in their own fields. It combines more mainstream researchers with scholars adopting less conventional perspectives – all of them at the forefront of the academic debate in their areas. 

     

    The faculties of Strategy, Corporate Governance, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship include, among others, Charles Baden-Fuller, Laure Cabantous, Igor Filatotchev, Stefan Haefliger, Paula Jarzabkowski, Gianvito Lanzolla, Davide Ravasi, Costas Andriopoulos, Vangelis Souitaris, Paolo Aversa, Eugenia Cacciatori, Hans Frankort, Santi Furnari, Alessandro Giudici, Andres Hervas-Drane, Susan Hill, Dzidziso Sam Kamuriwo, Elena Novelli, Simone Santoni, Stefania Zerbinati. Together, they form a vibrant and well-integrated intellectual community. 

     

    We now seek applications from exceptional UK and overseas graduates. Students will be selected on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and research potential. 

    To be considered for a scholarship, please submit an application by 29 February 2016. Full details can be found at: http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/courses/phd/how-to-apply

     

    Please encourage interested students to contact us for further information. If they are particularly interested in a PhD in strategy-as-practice or strategy process, I will also be happy to talk informally before their application (P.Jarzabkowski@city.ac.uk).
