  • 1.  LSE IS PhD Program: Three Ways to Join

    Posted 30 days ago
    Dear Colleagues,

    I'm delighted to share three exciting opportunities to join the Information Systems and Innovation Group in the Department of Management at the London School of Economics.  We're seeking creative and ambitious PhD applicants who wish to theorize technology in depth through social, economic, and organizational lenses, utilizing rigorous research methods, including computational approaches. Our tradition of unpacking the socio-technical dynamics of digital technology has shaped how the field now studies technology in organizations. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work with our group's faculty members, as well as other scholars at LSE who specialize in the study of technology and innovation. Whether you're interested in digital transformation, AI strategy, urban technology, or the future of information systems, we offer multiple pathways to pursue world-class doctoral research:

    1. MPhil/PhD in Management (Information Systems & Innovation)
    Our core doctoral program welcomes students interested in exploring how digital technologies reshape organizations, industries, and society. Research areas include digital innovation, digital infrastructure, platform ecosystems, future of work, AI sovereignty, and technology policy. We are particularly interested in those with strong computational science background.

    All programs are competitive and offer the opportunity to work with leading scholars at the department on questions that matter from the geopolitics of AI infrastructure to the design of tomorrow's cities, from platform governance to the epistemology of machine learning systems.

    If you're passionate about understanding how technology shapes our collective future, I encourage you to explore these pathways and reach out with any questions. Looking forward to hearing from exceptional candidates.
