The Center for Advanced Studies in Management (CASiM), the international
and interdisciplinary research center of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of
Management for business administration in the 21st century invites
applications for competitive doctoral scholarships. The scholarships are
founded by the Friede Springer Foundation that continues supporting
excellence in research at the CASiM Graduate School since 2013.

The successful candidate addresses innovative research in the fields of Management Science, Logistics, Operations Management
and/or (Algorithmic) Game Theory. Applicants hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) with a quantitative economic or managerial focus,
e.g., in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Business Mathematics, Economics, Management Information Science, or

programming skills as well as experience in using OR standard solvers (CPLEX or Gurobi) are of advantage.

We offer the unique opportunity to pursue a doctoral project under the
guidance of internationally renowned scholars and to be part of our
dynamic team.

The scholarship is open to applicants of any nationality and provides a
monthly grant of € 1,750, a yearly budget for visiting international
conferences as well as a waiver of the tuition fee for the doctoral
program. The maximum length of the scholarship is two years.
