Discussion: View Thread

The Junior Researcher programme or Advanced Studies in Business is a one-year academic programme aimed at developing excellent researchers, who are able to conduct research at the intersection of business and society. The programme targets students who are interested in pursuing a career in a research-oriented position or a trajectory leading to a 3-year PhD position. The programme is designed to offer students research skills and research experience that explicitly rises above what is currently offered by regular Master's degree programmes in the Netherlands. After completing the Advanced Studies in Business, students will be able to carry out research in multidisciplinary fields and at the intersection of business and society research with a view to writing a doctoral dissertation and obtaining a PhD (Doctoral) degree. They will also be able to take research positions (or managerial/consulting positions) in public and private sector organizations that require a sound understanding of research in business. The programme is an academic initiative of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of VU University Amsterdam (VU) and is executed under the auspices of Amsterdam Business Research Institute (ABRI).

The programme is carried out between October and June, and includes:

• 30 ECTS of the Doctoral-level coursework
• A paid Junior Researcher position 

If you know any good master students who might be interested in this programme, could you please inform them about this vacancy? Information about the application procedure is available at the website: http://abri.vu.nl/en/doctoral-education/junior-researcher/application/index.asp

Thank you.
