[Ann-Frances Cameron]

** PhD Student Position with Funding in Green IT & Behavioral Change
at HEC Montreal **

The Information Technologies department at HEC Montreal is looking for
candidates who wish to complete PhD studies on the topic of Green IT &
Behavioral change.

The PhD student will follow the IT specialization (the IT PhD program
at HEC Montreal), and the research focus of the student will be on the
area of Green IT and Behavioral Change. That is, the student’s work
should fall within the general theme of design and use of persuasive
technologies (e.g., smartphone applications) to improve employees’
pro-environmental behaviors in their workplace. Within this general
theme, several subthemes exist and thus, the student’s doctoral work
could focus on one of these many and disparate subthemes depending on
his/her own interests. For example, the PhD thesis could focus on a)
the design of persuasive technologies (including design science), b)
the use of persuasive technologies in the work place, c) IT users’
behavioral change, or d) IT-related pro-environmental behaviors.

The supervisory team will be composed of Associate Professor Ann
Frances Cameron and Assistant Professor Ana Ortiz de Guinea at HEC
Montreal. The PhD student will also work closely with Jane Webster
(Professor and E. Marie Shantz Professor of Management Information
Systems) and Sandy Staples (Professor and Distinguished Faculty Fellow
of Management Information Systems) at Queen’s University, Kingston,
Ontario, Canada.

All HEC Montreal PhD students receive:
->  a guaranteed annual funding of $ 25,000 over four years (including
funding from the Ph.D. program and subject to the funding conditions
of program).
-> funds for participation in scientific conferences.

The PhD position is open to domestic and international students.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for the position by January 15,
2014. For further details on the structure and application process for
