Description

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant Ph.D. scholarship within the field of Digitization.

The Department of Digitalization cares about the interaction of people, information, and technology in all of its manifestations. They study how individuals, groups, organizations, and society can grow and prosper by capitalizing on digital technologies.

The Department will give priority to applicants with high grades from their universities. 

The three-year Ph.D. programme at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting Ph.D. student.

CBS Ph.D. graduates are held in high esteem not only in academia and research institutions but also in government and business where their research qualifications are increasingly demanded. One-third of CBS Ph.D. graduates go on to employment outside universities and public research institutions.

Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness, and relevance of its teaching and research programmes. Candidates who wish to join us should demonstrate enthusiasm for working in an organization of this type (highlighting, for example, relevant business, educational and dissemination activities).
