Academic career

After her 2005 PhD thesis titled 'Management of globally distributed component-based software development projects' at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, Kotlarsky moved to the University of Warwick,{{cite web |url=https://www.rsm.nl/people/julia-kotlarsky/ |title=Dr Julia Kotlarsky |last=VCard |website=www.rsm.nl}} and then in 2012 joined Aston University as a full professor. In 2018 she moved to University of Auckland.

Much of Kotlarsky's research relates to outsourcing and offshoring. Together with Leslie Willcocks and Ilan Oshri, Kotlarsky is the author of The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring, which argues that companies tend to consider offshoring in situations where their profits are already diminishing.{{cite news |url=https://www.economist.com/special-report/2013/01/19/herd-instinct |title=Herd instinct |date=19 January 2013 |newspaper=The Economist|volume=217 |issue=2908 |pages=31 |bibcode=2013NewSc.217...31L |last1=Lowe |first1=Henry |doi=10.1016/S0262-4079(13)60685-5 }} Her current research revolves around digital sustainability; the interface between artificial intelligence technologies and humans; data and digital transformation; and technology sourcing.
