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 'Integrated Intelligence' framework that combines artificial intelligence and human cognition. The goal is to create practical pathways for future business models that support sustainability and alternative economic paradigms. This PhD is supervised by Ahmet Onur Ağca, Lecturer in Supply Chain & Operations Management, and Evanthia Thanou. The research will appeal to candidates passionate about alternative economics, behavioural science, AI, and sustainability. The project is interdisciplinary, integrating concepts from economics, business, management, computer science, and psychology to address the challenges of post-growth and degrowth economies. The studentship is open to both UK and international applicants. It covers full tuition fees and provides a stipend at the UKRI rate, making it a fully funded opportunity. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research community at Aston University and contribute to cutting-edge research in post-growth business models, supply chain management, and sustainable development. Applicants should have a relevant background in economics, business, management, computer science, or behavioural science. The application deadline is January 12, 2026, with the program starting in October 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the provided link.
