Copenhagen Business School, Department of Organization invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship within the field of organization studies, with a particular focus on digitalization in the public sector. The scholarship is part of the research project “Metoder til digital inklusion” funded by Velux. The project aims to generate new knowledge on the organization of digital inclusion, including on gliding responsibility. It focuses on digital exclusion among long-term incarcerated individuals in Danish prisons, but will extend findings to other marginalized groups. It is based on close collaboration between CBS, the Social Legal Aid Foundation, and the Think tank Justitia and is oriented towards practical interventions and policy recommendations.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in sociology, anthropology, sociology of science and technology (STS), or organization studies. The scholarship requires the conduct of empirical fieldwork in and communication with Danish organizations, so the candidate must be able to communicate fluently in Danish/Scandinavian.

Department of Organization (IOA) pursues a problem-oriented, business in society approach to understanding and intervening in organizations and institutions. Our research is driven by an interest in organization as a practical, situated, contested and changing matter. Our approach is interdisciplinary and combines social-scientific traditions such as organization theory, sociology, science and technology studies, political economy, and social psychology in the analysis of organizing processes and their outcomes. Methodologically, we value qualitative research methods highly and often adopt case study, field work methodology or social network analysis.

The teaching possibilities associated with the scholarship comprise undergraduate teaching and supervision in subjects such as organization theory, organizational analysis and qualitative methodology.

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

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.

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.
