The Erb Institute is proud to sponsor the 2026 AOM Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) Doctoral Consortium. Like ONE, Erb is dedicated to creating a more sustainable world. Founded at the University of Michigan in 1996, the Erb Institute bridges the Ross School of Business and the School for Environment and Sustainability, equipping scholars, students and partners with the business acumen to move markets and the systems-based understanding needed to drive meaningful, lasting environmental, social, and economic progress.
This year, the Erb Institute celebrates its 30th anniversary—a milestone that is both momentous and deeply personal to our community. The Erb Institute is a place where purpose meets possibility and connection. We are proud to honor the vision of our founding partners, commemorate the achievements of our alumni, highlight the thought leadership of our scholars, and recognize the dedication of our staff.
We at the Erb Institute believe that rigorous and engaged scholarship is a critical means of addressing sustainability transitions, and that community is a necessary support for this work. We applaud the ONE Division for creating a community that enables scholars to have a positive impact on the world through their scholarship and teaching. We are also proud to support emerging scholars as they advance research, teaching, and service focused on organizations and the natural environment through our longtime support of ONE’s Doctoral Consortium.
For the past 20 years, the Erb Institute has invited early-career scholars to join our community of changemakers as Postdoctoral Research Fellows. We encourage ONE members and Doctoral Consortium candidates to consider applying for this prestigious opportunity.
