Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) and fintech WeeFin are offering a three-year PhD contract in the field of sustainable finance. The aim of the PhD project will be to decode and decompose environmental indicators to maximize their use, relevance and usefulness for financial players.
The thesis will be carried out under an French industrial fellowship programme (CIFRE) based on a cooperation between WeeFin and AMSE. The PhD student will be enrolled in the Doctoral School of Economics and Management at the University of Aix-Marseille, and will be part of the AMSE doctoral program.

The thesis project will address the following research questions:
- Which sustainability indicators should be chosen to support corporate investment strategies, according to various climate scenarios? In the medium and long term, companies, and investors risk misalignment due to insufficient ambition.
- What are the best indicators to help financial players make better investment decisions? In the short term, investors risk misaligning their investment decisions, which could lead to financial controversies.
