The European Institute of Japanese Studies are looking for two bright PhD candidates

Position Open PhD candidate/Research Assistant at European Institute of Japanese Studies
The European Institute of Japanese Studies (EIJS) at Stockholm School of Economics is now recruiting
a Ph.D. candidate for the Doctoral Program in Asian Economy and Business. This is a program in close
cooperation with the business community.

The Ph.D. candidates will be accepted into the regular SSE Ph.D. Program in Business Administration,
Economics or Finance. In addition to fulfilling the regular SSE entrance criteria (please see under
each specialization on home page http://www.hhs.se/Education/PhD/Pages/AEB.aspx ), the candidate
should also be fluent in Japanese, Chinese or Korean.

The candidate will be part of an "Asian group" clustered together in close vicinity to EIJS and
Stockholm China Economic Research Institute (SCERI) and in this way constitute part of the "Asian
academic hub" at the School. Besides the regular SSE PhD curriculum, there will be a number of Asia-
related seminars and other activities in which the candidates are expected to take part. The Program
is for four years and given in English.

What is special about this program is that we will be working very closely with the business
community; various companies are “sponsors” of the Ph.D. candidates. We are at this moment looking
for two candidates of which at least one should make research on Japan.

The deadline for applications is Feb 1, 2017. For more information please contact the director Marie
Söderberg
