Project Details

Coventry University, UK (CU) and Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia (ITB) are inviting applications from suitably qualified graduates for a fully funded PhD studentship to research the transitioning to Circular Supply Chains with a Multi-level Perspective Approach.

Details of the PhD project

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Conduct a systematic literature review to rigorously assess the existing body of literature in transition to a circular economy.
  • Apply the concepts of the niche, regime, and landscape from the transition theory to conceptualise the transition to a circular economy.
  • Explore the use of the theory of change to describe the transition towards circular supply chains.
  • Design and analyse qualitative and/or quantitative methods to identify the transformation path towards circular supply chains.
  • Write papers for high-quality journals and national and international conferences.

The PhD project is expected to be completed in 3.5 years. The successful candidate will be part of the Sustainable Production and Consumption cluster of the Centre for Business in Society (CBiS) to complete the PhD project successfully.

This project and related studentship funding forms part of a dual award PhD between Coventry University and Institut Teknologi Bandung and as such the candidate will be expected to spend up to 12 months in the partner institution (usually in Year 2). On successful completion of the dual award a PhD qualification from both Coventry University and Institut Teknologi Bandung is awarded.

This project will start at Coventry University (UK), so the expectation is that Year 2 will take place at ITB (Indonesia). Year 3 onwards will be in the UK.
