PhD Information

At the Department of Organisation, Strategy and Entrepreneurship of the Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, PhD vacancies become available regularly. We have a broad research agenda spanning the areas of Industrial Organisation and Entrepreneurship, International Business and Strategic Management, Organisational Theory and Behaviour as well as the interrelationships between these disciplines. Our department is a leading, international and dynamic scientific environment with a pleasant and constructive working atmosphere. The quality of the department, as well as the Maastricht University School of Business and Economics, is, amongst others, reflected by the Triple Crown accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA.

PhD positions are temporary three or four-year contracts, depending on your background. The three-year contract is typically applicable for candidates who have successfully completed a research master in business, economics or a related discipline. The PhD project typically starts at the beginning of the academic year on September 1. The terms of employment of Maastricht University are set out in the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO). Furthermore, local UM provisions apply.
