Applications are invited from suitably qualified students who come with a strong research profile in ethical, responsible and sustainable business and its relationship to wider governance systems and questions; who have a clear potential for developing teaching excellence in the field; and who intend to explore:

3. how corporations contribute to, and extend, wider governance systems for sustainability.
