Maryam Lotfi

Cardiff University is recruiting a PhD student for the project “Navigating Geopolitical Risk: Supply Chain Reconfiguration, ESG and Firm Resilience.” The research will investigate how geopolitical risks reshape global supply chains and how these changes influence firms’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and resilience. The project addresses the strategic and operational challenges organizations face as international supply networks respond to geopolitical disruption, uncertainty and changing global conditions. The supervisory team includes Maryam Lotfi, Associate Professor (Reader) in sustainable supply chain management at Cardiff University; Professor Peng Zhou of Cardiff University; and Dr Reza Alikhani of Montpellier Business School in France. The opportunity is connected with Cardiff University’s expertise in sustainable supply chain management and research on social sustainability. The PhD offers a research environment spanning supply chain management, geopolitical risk, ESG, sustainability and firm resilience, with an international supervisory perspective involving Cardiff University and Montpellier Business School.
