The Behavioural Science Group at the University of Warwick's Warwick Business School is inviting applications for its fully funded PhD programme in Business & Management, with a behavioural science pathway. This five-year, full-time programme includes an MRes in the first two years, allowing students to explore different supervisors and research topics before focusing on their doctoral research. The programme is open to both home and international students, with all tuition fees covered and an annual stipend of approximately £23,000. Students can work with Dr. Maximilian Maier or other faculty members in the Behavioural Science Group, benefiting from a world-class interdisciplinary research environment. The programme is administratively titled 'Business & Management,' but students interested in decision making psychology will find a strong fit, especially with the behavioural science pathway. The first two years provide structured training and flexibility, with some courses waivable for those with a relevant master's degree. Warwick Business School offers a vibrant doctoral community, regular seminars, workshops, and opportunities to develop a global research network. The programme prepares graduates for prestigious academic or research careers, with access to extensive research funding and support. The application deadline is 11 January 2026, and the programme starts on 28 September 2026 at the Warwick campus. Prospective applicants should have a strong academic background in behavioural science, psychology, business, management, or related fields, and demonstrate independent thinking and ambition for an academic career.
