Ivey Business School at Western University, London, Ontario Canada has a fully funded position for a PhD student in Entrepreneurship to start in January, 2024.

Professor Daniel Clark, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship is recruiting for a PhD student with a research interest in Gender, Diversity, and Decision-Making in Entrepreneurship. This position would be aligned, and funded by, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada grant that has already been awarded.

The grant proposal outlines a multi-year research program that would provide the data and theoretical inspiration for the dissertation, however the specific direction, collection, analysis and writing would be the candidate's own.

Students would be co-supervised by another Ivey faculty member (to be determined), and have access to mentoring from Ivey's globally recognized faculty in entrepreneurship, gender, and decision making.
