PhD in Marketing - specialized in Machine Learning and Quantitative Methods

Erim , netherlands.

The marketing group at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University seeks highly motivated PhD students looking to study topics in marketing. Our group is unique in the Netherlands by focusing on developing and applying state-of-the-art methodologies from the fields of statistics, economics, and machine learning. Our faculty combines our methodological expertise with a deep understanding of the challenges businesses face. As part of a business school, we have strong ties with industry (profit and nonprofit) and government that allow our research to have direct societal impact. Strong applicants typically have backgrounds in computer science, statistics or econometrics and are looking to pursue careers as world-class academic researchers. Students define and execute their own projects in consultation with their advisers and thus need creativity, self-direction, and a passion for scientific research. We are looking for candidates that are equally interested in solid academic research and in addressing real-world problems.

Method: Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Multi-Armed Bandits, Econometrics, Optimization

Application: Marketing, Recommendation Systems, Clinical Trials

The marketing group at Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) ranks among the best in the world. Our members publish their research in top journals in marketing as well as related fields. They deeply care about open science practices (e.g., data sharing, open-source software), and host regular seminars and visits to encourage knowledge exchange with other top schools in the world. The group is diverse (in terms of research interests and cultural background), collaborative, and collegial.

Our PhD program seeks to train the next generation of marketing academics. We want our students to maximize their potential and become independent marketing scholars. We expect students to become experts in a specific domain of choice. This vacancy is explicitly targeted at candidates interested in using or developing quantitative approaches to tackle real-world challenges based on advanced machine learning and other statistical methods and/or candidates with a strong interest in marketing research applications of immersive technologies. The application is not limited to a specific topic within this domain. Instead, the PhD candidate will define a research agenda around a topic of their choosing based on their own expertise, interests and fit with one or several of our faculty members. As such, PhD positions in our group are open. During their years of study, students define and execute their own projects. They do this in consultation with their advisers, but also work with other faculty, including those at other institutes. The faculty in the quantitative group in our department work on a wide range of topics, such as design of multi-armed bandits and reinforcement learning models with applications to recommendation systems and clinical trials (Gui Liberali), virtual / augmented / mixed reality (Yvonne van Everdingen), digital platform markets (David Kusterer), privacy (Gilian Ponte), behavioral economics (Alina Ferecatu), causal inference (Jason Roos), marketing strategy (Gerrit van Bruggen), consumer eye tracking (Ana Martinovici), deep learning (Sebastian Gabel), consumer and firm networks (Xi Chen), customer analytics (Aurélie Lemmens), consumer learning (Maciej Szymanowski) and quantitative modelling approaches to predict the psychological processes involved in consumer judgments and decisions (Antonia Krefeld-Schwalb and Dan Schley).

In addition to standard required course work, students typically take courses in machine learning, (micro)economics, statistics, causal inference, econometrics, and seminars in quantitative marketing. The exact portfolio of courses is chosen in consultation with the advisers.

The PhD student will work in close collaboration with the team of advisers and other faculty on tasks that include:

• Identifying novel research questions based on real-world phenomena.   
• Understanding the theoretical foundations and state-of-the-art models in marketing science, economics, psychology, and computer science literatures relevant to understanding the phenomena.
• Identifying the fundamental variables, trade-offs and relationships that are most important to studying the phenomena.
• Developing and coding the appropriate algorithms and methods that implement the novel concepts and models.
• Gathering experimental or observational data to highlight the strength and boundaries of the proposed methods.
• Identifying the critical assumptions needed to draw inferences from empirical results.

• The ideal candidate should also have some experience in programming (e.g., R, Python, Julia, Scala, Java, or C++) and in data analysis, management, preparation, and visualization, ideally as part of at least one end-to-end data science project.

Interdisciplinary focus:

One feature that sets RSM apart from other faculties is the extent of cross-discipline work between the quantitative faculty (trained primarily in machine learning, operations research and economics) and the behavioral faculty (e.g., trained primarily in psychology and neuroscience). Thus, we are also explicitly inviting applications of students who would like to work at the intersection of quantitative marketing and consumer behavior. For example, if the PhD student was working on immersive technologies, their research could benefit from in-depth training in the psychology of consumer judgment and decision-making. In that case, we encourage candidates to explicitly mention it in their application (e.g., in the motivation letter and/or research statements).

Emma Blackett (she/they), is a PhD candidate in Communication Studies whose work is informed by queer/feminist studies, psychoanalytic theory, film studies, and ecocriticism. Her dissertation, “Psychoanalysis for a Blue Humanities”, offers a critique of environmental subjectivity, taking as its premise the failure of public communications about ecological collapse to provoke action adequate to halting it.

Sadie Couture is a PhD candidate in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University working at the intersection of media history, sound studies, and science and technology studies. During her tenure as a Wolfe Fellow, she will be working on my dissertation project, entitled “Long Time, First Time: A History of Call-In Radio in the United States and Canada 1945-1975” which focuses on the origins, development, and conventionalization of call-in radio and traces how technologies, policies, economies, and cultural desires impacted the format and pummeled it—imperfectly—into the shape it is today. Calling-in—using a telephone to connect to a radio station and subsequently be broadcast live—is simultaneously a technical process, a feedback system, satisfies the ‘public good’ criterion of many regulatory regimes, offers an additional way to shape an audience, and generates cheap, usable content.

Jay Ritchie, is a PhD candidate in the Department of English. His SSHRC CGS-funded doctoral research examines how poets created what Fluxus artist Dick Higgins called “intermedia” art, where two or more different artistic media are combined to create an artwork both between and beyond the artwork’s component media. Situating the turn towards intermedia in the context of the emergence of digital technology, his research examines the effects of digitality on poetic production, circulation, and reception from 1970 to 2020.

“Apart from providing vital, sustaining support for research and dissertation writing in the final year of my PhD, the Wolfe Fellowship allows me to attend conferences on digital media, the digital humanities, and science and technology more broadly,” says Jay. “The opportunity to share the research I have conducted while supported by the fellowship and to learn from other academics deepens my intellectual engagement with science and technology in the arts.”

Maryam Roosta , is a PhD candidate in the department of Anthropology at McGill University. Her doctoral dissertation is focused on the practice of temporary marriage among disadvantaged women in Iran. In Twelver Shi’a Islam, temporary marriage or mut’ah is a contract lasting anywhere from an hour to 99 years between a man and an unmarried woman. While mut’ah has traditionally been an urban phenomenon, the introduction of internet has reshaped the social arrangements between men and women who intend to contract mut’ah. Maryam’s research shows that to better understand the boundaries between mut’ah and transactional intimate relations is necessary to attend to the ways in which digital technologies such as the internet both enable and constrain women in contracting such relationships. In addition to Wolfe fellowship, her doctoral research is supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Société et Culture (FRQSC) and Wenner-Gren foundation.

Mehak Sawhney (she/her) is a PhD candidate and Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar in Communication Studies at McGill University. Her doctoral project titled Audible Waters: Sounding and Surveilling the Indian Ocean traces the production of oceanic territory through underwater sonic technologies in postcolonial India and the subcontinental Indian Ocean. Through a focus on hydrography, military security, conservation, and resource extraction, the project explores the politics of underwater monitoring technologies such as sonars as well as scientific disciplines such as underwater acoustics and bioacoustics. In so doing the project offers media theoretical reflections on the idea of the planetary, ongoing submarine colonialisms, and geopolitically situated ways to think about the relationship between sound, media and the environment.

“The Wolfe fellowship will support me in completing my dissertation as a final year PhD candidate at McGill,” says Mehak. “My dissertation titled Audible Waters: Sounding and Surveilling the Indian Ocean focuses on the production of oceanic territory through underwater sonic technologies in postcolonial India and the subcontinental Indian Ocean. It is based on ethnographic and archival research in India and the US. The fellowship will be very helpful in supporting my work and stay for the next academic session as an international student in Canada.”

Muhe Yang is a PhD candidate in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Her doctoral research investigates how to design technologies to better support the interrelated needs of older adults living alone for physical activity. Older adults engage in physical activity for myriad purposes, including health benefits, associated sensory pleasures, and increased opportunities of socializing. Yet, older adults, especially those living alone, often encounter various barriers to maintaining their exercise routines, contributing to inactivity and falling short of recommended physical activity levels. Those barriers, including health problems, lack of motivation and social support, lack of exercise resources, not only span across individual, social, and environmental levels but also are often interrelated, as revealed in Muhe’s research findings to date.
