Aston University’s Engineering Management Department is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity focused on the transition to a post-growth economy. The project, titled "Navigating the Post-Growth Transition: A Cross-Sectoral Analysis of Integrated Intelligence Pathways," aims to develop a novel framework that combines artificial intelligence and human cognition to create practical pathways for future business models beyond traditional growth paradigms. Supervised by Ahmet Onur Ağca and Evanthia Thanou, this research will appeal to candidates passionate about alternative economics, behavioural science, and the application of AI for sustainability. The project is situated within the context of supply chain and operations management, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, degrowth, and innovative economic models such as the doughnut economy. The studentship is open to both UK and international applicants and provides full tuition coverage along with a stipend at the UKRI rate. The successful candidate will join a vibrant academic environment at Aston University, located in the United Kingdom, and will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of economics, management, and technology. Applicants should have a relevant background in economics, behavioural science, AI, or related fields. The application deadline is January 12, 2026, with the program starting in October 2026.
