JOB DESCRIPTION
Faculty of Economics and Business
The Faculty of Economics and Business offers an inspiring study and working environment for students and employees. International accreditation enables the Faculty to assess performance against the highest international standards. It also creates an exciting environment of continuous improvement. FEB’s programs, academic staff and research do well on various excellence ranking lists.
The graduate school of Economics & Business has 12 PhD positions available.
The aim of our PhD programme is to deliver highly qualified researchers. For this purpose, we offer PhD positions to excellent candidates who recently graduated. The PhD programme covers four years and leads to a PhD degree. These four years are primarily spent on writing research papers for the PhD thesis and on participation in international conferences, workshops, and seminars.
The PhD programme is embedded in FEB’s research institute with seven excellent research programmes.
1. Accounting (https://www.rug.nl/research/accounting/)
2. Economics, Econometrics & Finance (https://www.rug.nl/research/gradschool-economics-and-business/phd-programme/prospective-phd/eef/research-areas)

All PhD candidates are supervised by at least two supervisors who are a fellow of the research institute.
PhD candidates contribute 20% of their time to teaching.
