About this position
This PhD opening sits within Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University and the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), a joint research institute of RSM and the Erasmus School of Economics. The advert presents a set of fully funded, internationally oriented doctoral projects in marketing, with a strong emphasis on rigorous, innovative research that also aims to be practically relevant.
The marketing programme focuses on how managers and consumers make decisions, and is organised around three broad themes: consumer behaviour, marketing management and strategy, and marketing modelling. Within this research environment, RSM currently offers projects in Quantitative Marketing and Decision Neuroscience, giving candidates the opportunity to work on marketing questions that combine analytical, behavioural, and neuroscience-informed perspectives.
ERIM is described as a high-level research environment for management and business research, with state-of-the-art facilities and an international orientation. The position forms part of a broader PhD ecosystem at RSM, alongside other research areas such as Business Processes, Logistics and Information Systems, Organisation, Finance & Accounting, and Strategy & Entrepreneurship. The advert also points candidates to the full-time PhD in Business and Management programme and to RSM’s broader PhD vacancy information.
The position is based in Rotterdam at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and the advert highlights the school’s research culture and its emphasis on creating positive societal impact.
