FEBRI, the graduate school and research institute of the Faculty of Economics and Business, is offering one PhD position in the field of Recipes for Local and Regional Economic Development Across Europe.
Project Description
Reducing regional economic disparities is a core foundational aim of the European Union, yet inequality persists. This project investigates the reasons behind these disparities and offers recommendations for structuring the EU’s regional policy to address them. Topics include cross-regional collaboration, interregional alliances, and smart specialization. Although regions’ specialization strategies aim to identify core strengths, they often mimic Europe’s core regions. A more contextually sensitive approach that prioritizes growth paths could unlock development opportunities in both core and peripheral regions of the EU.
The PhD position is part of the research program Innovation & Organization at FEB’s Research Institute. We offer a truly international environment with English as the working language and a diverse team of over 15 nationalities. The project will be supervised by Prof. Florian Noseleit, Dr. Daniël Speldekamp, and Dr. Benito Giordano, who have a strong track record of publishing in leading academic journals.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate is ambitious, highly motivated, and aims to pursue a career in research at a leading university or in a high-level professional role where a PhD is advantageous. The project allows for both qualitative and quantitative approaches (or a mix thereof). Candidates should have a strong analytical mindset and be thoroughly trained in relevant methods.
