Hi:
I am currently looking for a full-time Ph.D. student with an interest in OB topics (leadership) and who's strong in methods. The position announcement is below. Note that working conditions are excellent as is salary, which is currently between 58,000 (for the first year) to 73,000 (for the fifth year) Swiss Francs (about $73,000 to $92,000 at the current exchange rate). Fluency in both English and French is imperative (so if a candidate does not speak either of the languages fluently they will not be considered).
I would appreciate it if you could pass this on to interested master's students who may fit the profile.
Thank you.
John.
