PhD scholarship in Green Transition and Sustainability

The central aim of this PhD stipend is to advance our understanding of developments in the green transition and the roles and responsibilities of business, government, consumers and civil society organisations in supporting the sustainability agenda. The specific focus can range from sustainability governance issues, consumer behaviour and civil society engagement, to labour market issues. These focus areas are suggestive, and applications that address other focus areas within the theme of Green Transition and Sustainability, and the scope of the department, will also be considered. Applicants are required to develop a theoretically grounded research proposal with a clear empirical focus.

About the PhD programme

The three-year PhD programme at CBS gives you the opportunity to conduct research under the supervision of CBS’s associate professors and professors, supported by research related PhD courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time at another research institution as a visiting PhD student. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme, https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/phd-programme.

CBS PhD graduates are held in high esteem not only in academia and research institutions but also in government and business where their research qualifications are in high demand.
