[SSJ: 7028] VB: PhD. Program on Asian Economy and Business at Stockholm School of Economics

PhD program on Japanese economy and business in Stockholm, prolongation of application deadline

We are now starting the recruitment of Ph.D. candidates for the Doctoral Program in Asian Economy and Business at Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). This is a new program that will be run by the European Institute of Japanese Studies (EIJS) in cooperation with the China Economic Research Center (CERC) at SSE.
The Program will gather up to 10 Ph.D. candidates that will be placed within the SSE's regular Ph.D. programs (mostly Business Administration but also Economics and Finance). Beside the regular entrance criteria the candidates also need to master one of the major Asian languages (Japanese, Chinese or Korean). (For more information see
http://www.hhs.se/Education/PhD/Pages/AEB.aspx)
The idea is that the "Asian group" shall be sitting together, in close vicinity to EIJS and CERC during their study time and in this way constitute part of an "Asian academic hub" at the school. Besides the regular curriculum there will be a number of Asia related seminars and other activities to take part in. What is different with this program is also that we will be working very closely with business society. We are asking various companies to "sponsor a Ph.D.
candidate". So far three companies have agreed to this and we are now starting the recruitment of our first candidates. At the moment we are looking for two candidates working on Japan with a prolonged deadline for applications until February 1 2012 and another one working on China with a deadline of application on February 1 2012.

The Program is given in English.
