PhD scholarship in The Future of Work
The central aim of this PhD scholarship is to advance our understanding of new modes of working in the digital economy and how these are reshaping the experiences, organisation, and management in empirical settings. The specific focus can range from emerging modes of organisation and knowledge production, creative labor, and cultural and communicative work, to the use of technologies, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic management. These focus areas are suggestive, and applications that address other focus areas within the theme of Future of Work, and the scope of the department, will also be considered. Applicants are required to develop a theoretically grounded research proposal with a clear empirical focus.
