Julia Rieg joined the KLU as a PhD candidate in September 2019 under the primary and secondary supervision of Prof. Dr. Niels Van Quaquebeke and Prof. Dr. Prisca Brosi, respectively. Her research is based in the field of organisational behaviour and leadership, with particular focus placed on leader-follower communication.
Julia graduated with a BSc Joint Honours from the University of St Andrews in 2018, where she studied the degree combination Economics and Psychology. In the realm of an academic exchange, she spent one year at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. Julia developed a strong interest in the field of leadership while working
on her bachelor’s thesis, in which she adopted a social identity approach to analyse how women invoked and warranted the claim of a personal relationship to Hitler as a political leader during the Third Reich.
Before joining KLU, Julia finished her MSc Psychology of Economic Life at the London School of Economics and Political Science. To complement her studies, Julia gained practical experience working in global talent sourcing and market management at Daimler AG.
