Vacant fellowship at the Department of Law, University of Southern Denmark
1 week ago
At the Department of Law, one or more Ph.D. fellowships will be available as of 1 January 2025 or by further agreement. The place of work is at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense.
The primary task in the positions is research and, as a result, to prepare a Ph.D. thesis within the three-year employment. As a Ph.D. fellow at the Department of Law, you will be part of a legal research environment anchored in The Faculty of Business and Social Sciences.
You are expected to have academic qualifications corresponding to the level obtained by completing a relevant Master's degree programme. If you have practical experience in subject areas relevant to the proposed research project, it is naturally an advantage, but it is neither required nor expected.
A Ph.D. is a research degree at the highest international level. You will become part of active learning environments, in Denmark as well as abroad, and you will obtain an extensive academic knowledge e.g. by participating in relevant Ph.D. courses. Furthermore, you will gain teaching experience since part of the program involves teaching certain courses at our law studies. You are expected to be able to teach in Danish and/or English.
As a Ph.D. fellow, you will become part of the good research environment at our department. We cherish our good working environment, and therefore you are expected to show commitment and visibility in relation to the department – internally as well as externally – and to contribute positively to the department's working environment, everyday life and ongoing operation.
More information about our Ph.D. programme is available at the department's website. On the website you will also find the department's qualifications criteria. The program is provided by the Ph.D. School at the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences who offer further information on their website.
The Department of Law has a cooperation agreement with Universita' Ca' Foscari in Venice. It means that we offer a so-called double PhD degree. You will find more information about the cooperation here.
