Dear Colleagues, Greetings from the Department of Strategy & Policy, NUS Business School! Our recruitment drive for Doctoral students for Academic Year 2015-2016 is NOW OPEN! The NUS Business School at The National University of Singapore is seeking candidates for its Ph.D. program in Strategic Management, with admittance to the program starting in the fall of 2016. What is our goal? Our doctoral program trains students to do high-quality research and prepares them for careers as professors of strategic management at top academic research institutions. The academic job market for Ph.D.s in strategic management has been strong, our program's reputation and interest in Asia are on the rise, the pay is good, and a profession in academia can be intellectually very rewarding.

Our faculty publish in leading strategic management journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Administrative Science Quarterly, Management Science, and Journal of International Business Studies, as well as top disciplinary journals in economics and sociology such as American Economic Review and American Sociological Review.

Singapore is a bustling cosmopolitan city populated with high-rise buildings and landscape gardens. Brimming with a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture, Singapore is a dynamic city that's rich in contrast and colour. In fact, you can even say that Singapore embodies the finest of both East and West. At present, Singapore's population stands at about five million people, with English as the main language of instruction, and a mother tongue for each major ethnicity. One of the distinctly Singaporean things you'll notice on our island is a ubiquitous collage of cultures. Coming together as a society and living in harmony, there are four major races - namely the Chinese (majority), Malay, Indian and Eurasian. Each community offers a different perspective of life in Singapore in terms of culture, religion, food and language. Furthermore, Singapore is the hub of the broader dynamic region of Southeast Asia, with fascinating and eclectic destinations such as Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam all within reach with a flight of only 3 hours or less. The other thing that will strike you most about Singapore is its multifarious offering of food - day or night, there will always be something to whet your appetite. With a range of dining options from Peranakan to Chinese, Indian to Malay, fusion and more, you'll be spoilt for choice. Beyond the history, culture, people, shopping and food, there are many more facets to Singapore's thriving cityscape for you to discover. And these can only be experienced as you immerse yourself in the exploration of this once fishing village turned cosmopolitan city! ** If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Kind regards, [Description: signature] Associate Professor Ishtiaq Pasha Mahmood, PhD Program Coordinator, Department of Strategy and Policy, NUS Business School :: National University of Singapore :: Mochtar Riady Building, BIZ1, 15 Kent Ridge Drive, Singapore 119245 :: bschool.nus.edu<http://www.nus.edu.sg/> (W) :: Company Registration No: 200604346E Important: This email is confidential and may be privileged.
