Join the Amsterdam Business School at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to shape the future of entrepreneurship research. We are seeking to nurture an ambitious and enthusiastic PhD candidate that will join our Entrepreneurship and Innovation section on September 1st, 2023.
Project description
"There's an essential, intangible something in start-ups-an energy, a soul. Company founders sense its presence. So do early employees and customers. It inspires people to contribute their talent, money, and enthusiasm and fosters a sense of deep connection and mutual purpose."
(Gulati, R. 2019. The Soul of a Start-Up. Harvard Business Review)
Startups must obtain resources from a variety of stakeholders. This project is built around the idea that these stakeholders, including customers, employees, investors, and society at large, associate a unique and distinguishable character with organizations operating under the label "startup" (with variations including "tech startup", "AI startup... "scaleup", "unicorn", etc.). This is important because organizations, just like individuals, may either enjoy or suffer the consequences of being associated with certain labels and stereotypes. Regardless of other relevant considerations, simply being called a "startup" can therefore be linked with both positive and negative social evaluations. For example, cultural messages about startups associate these organizations with innovation, visionary leaders, and the underdog drive to disrupt industries. At the same time, however, startups may also and receive harsher judgments due to uncertainty about their underlying quality and potential or doubts about their legitimacy and credibility. This project aims to unpack the conditions under which the meaning associated with startup-related labels emerges and how such labels might independently shape evaluations and resource provision by different stakeholders. Answering such questions is crucial not only because it will contribute to theories of social evaluations in entrepreneurship and management, but also because the current hype around startups demands a better understanding of the power encapsulated in such labels, acknowledging their increasing strategic use (e.g., for competitive differentiation or persuasive stakeholder communication) and misuse (e.g., for stakeholder deception and other ethical lapses).
Key questions include:
• What are the set of meanings and expectations that different stakeholder groups associate with the startup label?
• how does the startup label shape interactions between entrepreneurs and different stakeholder groups, including resource acquisition from stakeholders?
• what are the implications of combining or replacing the startup label with other relevant labels (e.g., AI startup, unicorn, scaleup, etc.)?
Example sub-projects include:
• An exploration of the set of meanings and expectations implied by the startup label as well as the likelihood that this label is associated with different combinations of observed organizational attributes (e.g., location, size, age, demographic composition, growth stage, funding stage, industry sector, business model, etc.);
• looking into whether and how the startup label is used strategically by entrepreneurs when interacting with different stakeholder groups (e.g., job seekers vs. investors vs. customers vs. the wider public) or under different conditions (e.g., different countries and ecosystems or under varying economic climates), including the potential "dark side" of the startup label (e.g., when used for stakeholder deception or when it deters some people from engaging with the company);
• testing how the startup label interacts with other prominent labels (tech startups vs. AI startup vs. medical device startups) and the extent to which such combinatorial labels lead to different outcomes;
• assessing the reasons and implications of discarding the startup label (e.g., when transitioning from startup to scaleup)?
During your PhD, you will be trained to conduct primarily quantitative empirical research aimed at advancing entrepreneurship research in top-tier academic journals. You will also be an active member of a research lab focused on the study of startups. As a member of this lab within the Entrepreneurship and Innovation section, you will benefit from, and contribute to a broader research agenda, networks, initiatives, resources, and input from a larger group of experienced researchers.
Your tasks
• Become a member of a collaborative team;
• co-planning and conducting research (including the design of the studies, and the collection and analysis of empirical data);
• write up findings for publication in prestigious entrepreneurship and management journals;
• present research findings at leading international conferences;
• attend classes and seminars (including those offered at other universities) to further develop thinking and research skills;
• participate in and contribute to research activities at the section and lab (e.g., research seminars and research meetings);
• assist in relevant teaching and knowledge dissemination activities.
Expected outcome
• At least 3 manuscripts ready for submission to or already published in top academic journals (adequate collegial support and mentorship will be provided);
• placement at a research university in a tenure track position;
• continued collaboration with the lab and its members Show more details...

Project: Artificial Intelligence and Patterns of Influence in the Arts and Entertainment Industries
Are you interested in studying the arts and entertainment industries at the cross-section of business and computer science? The Entrepreneurship and Innovation section at the Amsterdam Business School of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) invites applications for a PhD position in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation department. We are looking for talented PhD candidates with the ambition to work and succeed at the highest international academic level.
Project description
The arts and entertainment sectors, part of the creative and cultural industries, are characterized by a complex web of patterns of influence. These influence patterns can take many forms, such as the transfer of ideas and techniques between different (artistic) disciplines, the adoption of (aesthetic) styles and trends by different artists and organizations, and the flow of resources and funding between different... sectors. One of the key ways in which influence operates is through the fashioning, dissemination, and adoption of creative ideas. This means that influence relations are often characterized by a high degree of cross-pollination, with ideas and trends flowing freely between different sectors or disciplines. By examining the influence patterns between different cultural and creative disciplines - the data can take the form of text, static images, and/or video - we can better understand the mechanisms that drive the flow of ideas and techniques across diverse domains and identify the (key) drivers of innovation within and across sectors. For instance, directors and writers in the movie/TV industry may borrow elements from other films, art, or books to create new and original stories. Similarly, in the music industry, artists and musicians may draw inspiration from a wide range of sources, including other genres of music, art forms, and even technology. Blending different styles and influences can create new and innovative works and/or expand upon existing artistic traditions. Overall, the patterns of influence within the arts and entertainment industries are intricate, with new trends and styles emerging all the time. By studying these influence patterns, we can understand the factors that drive innovation and success within these industries, which may provide greater insights into how these factors can be harnessed to support entrepreneurship and growth. In addition, studying the influence relations can also shed light on the broader sociocultural forces that shape these industries, such as the role of entrepreneurs, cultural institutions, and commercial enterprises, the impact of technological innovation, and the influence of global trends and market forces.
This interdisciplinary project aims to better understand the factors that can explain innovation and entrepreneurial projects' success (and failures) by applying advanced computational machine learning approaches.
During your PhD, you will be trained to conduct quantitative empirical research aimed at advancing business and computer science research in top-tier academic journals and conferences. You will also be a member of a newly formed research lab: the Creative Industries (CI) Lab. As a member of the CI Lab within the Entrepreneurship and Innovation department, you will benefit from, and contribute to, the research agenda, networks, initiatives, resources, and the collegial environment in that Lab, as well as have the liberty to join one or more ongoing research projects carried out by members of our department.
What are you going to do?
• Develop novel multimodal deep learning approaches informed by the relevant business theories;
• Present research findings at prestigious business and computer science conferences and journals;
• Pursue and complete a PhD thesis within the appointed duration of four years;
• Attend classes and seminars (including those offered at other universities) to develop thinking and research skills further;
• Participate in and contribute to departmental research functions (PhD Day, research seminars, and research meetings);
• Assist in relevant teaching and knowledge dissemination activities Show more details...

The section Business Analytics of the Amsterdam Business School (University of Amsterdam) invites applications for a multidisciplinary PhD position in the field of healthcare management. The PhD project will be part of the Amsterdam Research Center for Health Economics (ARCHE). The student will collaborate with researchers from medicine, business, health sciences, and practitioners working in the Dutch healthcare system.
The project aims to contribute
The section Business Analytics of the Amsterdam Business School (University of Amsterdam) invites applications for a multidisciplinary PhD position in the field of healthcare management. The PhD project will be part of the Amsterdam Research Center for Health Economics (ARCHE). The student will collaborate with researchers from medicine, business, health sciences, and practitioners working in the Dutch healthcare system.
The project aims to contribute to what may be the most pressing problem that the healthcare system faces, namely, the staff shortage. Recent decades have seen a fall in productivity in care delivery, which means that less care is delivered per fte. The project will explore the use of new technologies, such as predictive analytics and AI, and established technologies from operations management and management information systems that have the potential to improve productivity. The objective is to understand what it takes to successfully integrate such technologies in... the complex environment of a healthcare system and how they can be used to deliver more care with fewer staff.
We are looking for candidates with the ambition to do impactful academic research applying sound research approaches to understand complex problems in society.
What are you going to do
The PhD position is a full-time position for a period of four years, salary is in accordance with fixed salaries prescribed by the Dutch labor agreements for universities.
The pressing shortages in the labor market for healthcare make it a necessity to look for ways to deliver more care with fewer staff. Various outcome measures show that the opposite has happened: in previous decades, productivity in healthcare has fallen. The project aims to contribute to the pursuit of increasing productivity, not by working harder, but by working smarter.
The design, control, and improvement of systems for delivering care are studied in the field of production and operations management. Theory and principles from this field are applied in almost every sector for creating dependable, safe, fast, flexible, and efficient production systems. Technology has always played a prominent role in improving operations. From the 1980s onwards, most industries have adopted IT and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems and in the current decade, new technologies such as AI, robotics, IoT (internet of things), big data and the cloud are having a profound impact on how operations are run.
At face value, it is plausible that operations-management theory as well as established and emerging technologies may help in improving productivity in care delivery. Compared to other sectors, such practices and technologies are however underutilized in healthcare. This research project aims to study how much productivity can be gained by adopting these practices and technologies, and what technical modifications and infrastructure are necessary to make them effective in a healthcare context. The research will predominantly take the perspective of the field of operations management (including related disciplines such as systems and industrial engineering, operations research, and management information systems).
You will/tasks:
The PhD student will work in close collaboration with the supervisory team:
• studying and taking classes to improve research skills and deepen one's understanding of healthcare systems, operations management theory, and IT and management information systems;
• identifying relevant research questions and translating these to a sound research approach;
• publishing research results in international academic journals, and presenting them at international conferences;
• participating in and contributing to departmental research functions, including research seminars and research meetings;
• teaching-related activities, including undergraduate tutorials and the supervision of MSc and/or BSc thesis projects.
As the project is part of the Amsterdam Research Center for Health Economics (ARCHE), the PhD student will also collaborate with practitioners working with hospitals, policy researchers and IT service providers to translate research findings to actionable interventions or policies.

Are you interested in studying networks and using methodology at the cross-section of business analytics, econometrics and computer science? The Business Analytics section at the University of Amsterdam Business School invites applications for a PhD position in Network Statistics and Machine Learning. We are looking for candidates with the ambition to work and succeed at the highest international academic level.
The main topic of research is network analysis and modelling using statistical and machine learning tools. Network data are ubiquitous in finance, social media, the economy, and business. Social networks play an increasingly important role in society. For example, the Reddit community WallStreetBets hyped the stock of GameStop (GME), causing a short squeeze and extremely volatile stock prices in early 2021. Similarly, statements made on social networks such as Twitter have been shown to impact public and voter opinions. Exemplifying how social networks... directly affect the economy, this project focusses on studying network data with a specific interest in modelling and understanding how networks change over time. Change detection in an online fashion is a challenging task in networks of large size, a common property of social networks.
In this research, the candidate will first investigate and develop interpretable network analysis approaches using statistical models and test them on real-life data. Then geometric deep learning approaches for the tasks like node classification, link prediction and graph classification will be developed with change detection ability. In the final phase of the project, the candidate should bring together two families of methods and design an optimized algorithm that is both interpretable and yields a high performance in network change detection.
The PhD student will work in close collaboration with the supervisory team and other faculty on the tasks.
The supervisory team will consist of dr. Inez Zwetsloot (ABS), dr. Simon Trimborn (ASE) and dr. Stevan Rudinac (ABS).
What are you going to do?
• Develop novel interpretable statistical models for network analysis;
• develop novel deep-learning approaches for node classification, link prediction, and community detection in network data;
• create open data and software tools for the envisioned network analysis tasks;
• present research findings at international conferences;
• write up findings for publication in international journals;
• pursue and complete a PhD thesis within the appointed duration of four years;
• attend classes and seminars (including those offered at other universities) to develop thinking and research skills further;
• participate in and contribute to departmental research functions (PhD Day, research seminars, and research meetings);
• assist in knowledge dissemination activities;
• participate in teaching-related activities (to a limited degree), including undergraduate tutorials and the supervision of MSc and/or BSc thesis projects.
Functie-eisen
Formal requirements:
• Masters' degree in Statistics, Econometrics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field (expected to finish by September 2023)
Task-related requirements:
• Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written, ideally with experience writing for a scientific audience;
• willingness and motivation to independently formulate research projects and carry them through to completion;
• mathematical skills, data analytics skills, and a strong willingness to develop these skills further;

Are you interested in studying networks and using methodology at the cross-section of business analytics, econometrics and computer science? The Business Analytics section at the University of Amsterdam Business School invites applications for a PhD position in Network Statistics and Machine Learning. We are looking for candidates with the ambition to work and succeed at the highest international academic level.
The main topic of research is network analysis and modelling using statistical and machine learning tools. Network data are ubiquitous in finance, social media, the economy, and business. Social networks play an increasingly important role in society. For example, the Reddit community WallStreetBets hyped the stock of GameStop (GME), causing a short squeeze and extremely volatile stock prices in early 2021. Similarly, statements made on social networks such as Twitter have been shown to impact public and voter opinions. Exemplifying how social networks... directly affect the economy, this project focusses on studying network data with a specific interest in modelling and understanding how networks change over time. Change detection in an online fashion is a challenging task in networks of large size, a common property of social networks.
In this research, the candidate will first investigate and develop interpretable network analysis approaches using statistical models and test them on real-life data. Then geometric deep learning approaches for the tasks like node classification, link prediction and graph classification will be developed with change detection ability. In the final phase of the project, the candidate should bring together two families of methods and design an optimized algorithm that is both interpretable and yields a high performance in network change detection.
The PhD student will work in close collaboration with the supervisory team and other faculty on the tasks.
The supervisory team will consist of dr. Inez Zwetsloot (ABS), dr. Simon Trimborn (ASE) and dr. Stevan Rudinac (ABS).
What are you going to do?
• Develop novel interpretable statistical models for network analysis;
• develop novel deep-learning approaches for node classification, link prediction, and community detection in network data;
• create open data and software tools for the envisioned network analysis tasks;
• present research findings at international conferences;
• write up findings for publication in international journals;
• pursue and complete a PhD thesis within the appointed duration of four years;
• attend classes and seminars (including those offered at other universities) to develop thinking and research skills further;
• participate in and contribute to departmental research functions (PhD Day, research seminars, and research meetings);
• assist in knowledge dissemination activities;
• participate in teaching-related activities (to a limited degree), including undergraduate tutorials and the supervision of MSc and/or BSc thesis projects.
Functie-eisen
Formal requirements:
• Masters' degree in Statistics, Econometrics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field (expected to finish by September 2023)
Task-related requirements:
• Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written, ideally with experience writing for a scientific audience;
• willingness and motivation to independently formulate research projects and carry them through to completion;
• mathematical skills, data analytics skills, and a strong willingness to develop these skills further;
• excellent programming skills in one or more of the following languages: Python, R, C, C++;
• preferably experience with at least one of the following: network data analysis, deep learning libraries such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, timeseries modeling and prediction, high-performance computing.3
Additional requirements:
• Preference is given to candidates with some research experience (e.g., Master thesis and/or research assistant experience);
• strong commitment to methodological rigor and scientific integrity;
• energy and passion for statistics and machine learning;
• intellectual curiosity, eagerness to learn, and openness to criticism;

Are you interested in developing state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, designing new algorithms, and being prepared to take-on impactful problems such as developing a real-life surgery schedule? The section Business Analytics at the Amsterdam Business School (University of Amsterdam) invites applications for a PhD position in Operations Research and Machine Learning. We are looking for talented PhD candidates with the ambition to work and succeed at the highest international academic level.
What are you going to do?
Our project aims to leverage machine learning to develop better decision-support tools to improve healthcare processes. Healthcare is under increasing pressure, and healthcare practitioners cannot possibly oversee the effects of all their decisions. Bad planning and hasty decision-making can lead to unwanted side effects, such as high waiting times for the operating room or overcrowding in the recovery ward. We believe that many of these issues can be avoided by... suitably leveraging data in the planning and control of healthcare processes.
Instead of relying on simplifying assumptions to create elegant theoretical models, as used in much of the published research, we aim to develop data-driven models that are usable in practice and compliant with the current privacy regulations. The research will require a blend of data analytics and machine learning, to perform predictive modeling, and operations research, to do the mathematical modeling. A key starting point is to improve surgery scheduling by employing a comprehensive and recent dataset of real-life scenarios. The research will be done in collaboration with hospitals.
You will/tasks:
• studying and taking classes to improve research skills and deepen one's understanding of healthcare systems, operations management theory, and IT and management information systems;
• identifying relevant research questions and translating these into a sound research approach;
• publishing research results in international academic journals, and presenting them at international conferences;
• participating in and contributing to departmental research functions, including research seminars and research meetings;
• teaching-related activities, including undergraduate tutorials and the supervision of MSc and/or BSc thesis projects Show more details...
