Research AreasEntrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership
We welcome research proposals that relate to entrepreneurship, including transformation, innovation, new venture creation, and market development; ethics in business, including responsibility, decision-making dilemmas, and the broader implications of business for society; and leadership, including emphasis on interpersonal relationships within organizations and workplace dynamics related to change processes.
Governance, Culture and Learning
We welcome proposals for doctoral work that relate to governance, including investigation of structures and processes of governance on different levels of organizations; culture, including 'culture in business' and 'culture as a business'; and learning, including studies of learning processes in organizations and business.
While we encourage applications aligned with these themes, we also welcome innovative proposals that fall within the broader scope of business humanities research.
About the PhD programmeThe 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.
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.
CBS is devoted to ensuring excellence, transformative and relevant teaching and research. Candidates who wish to join us are expected to be interested in working in an organisation of this type and it is expected that the applicant shows an interest in joining the department's research environment.
Application and Admission RequirementsThe department will give priority to applicants with high grades from their universities.
To be considered, the applicant must:
- Have a basic education at master's level (corresponding to the 3 + 2 Bologna process)
- Have a weighted grade point average of at least 8.2 on the Danish 7-point grading scale for the bachelor's and master's degree combined or alternatively a weighted grade point average must be at least 9.5 for the master's degree alone. If the grade point average is not met, documentation for being in the top 40% of the class is also accepted. In rare cases, the grade requirement can be waived.
- Have a relevant educational background in the humanities or social sciences
- Have completed the master's programme before starting the PhD programme at CBS
- Master academic English at a high level in writing and speaking
The application must include a five-page PhD project description. The project description must include:

- A presentation of the proposed empirical material
In addition to the project description, copies of the following must be included:
- Diploma for bachelor's and master's degree or other certificates at an equivalent level as well as the grade transcripts
- Documentation for being in the top 40% of the class (if grade requirements are not met)
- A list of articles and publications (if applicable)
- One example of a selected written work (e.g. master's thesis)
- Documentation of English language skills is not required for the application but may be requested if the applicant is shortlisted for interviews.
A PhD scholarship runs for a period of three years and includes teaching obligations corresponding to 416 work hours. The scholarships are fully salaried positions, according to the national Danish collective agreement. The monthly salary is currently approximately DKK 28,993 up to DKK 35,015 depending on seniority and a pension contribution totalling 17.1%.

Applicants selected for assessment will be notified about the composition of the Assessment Committee and will receive their personal assessment later. Selected applicants will be invited for an interview. Please note that a positive assessment does not automatically result in an interview.
