Denmark: 2 PhD Scholarships in The Department of Management at Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University

Overview

The Department of Management at Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University, is advertising two PhD scholarships available as at 1st February 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Management and Leadership Research Group at the Department of Management invites applicants for two positions as PhD students. The positions are linked to a multidisciplinary research project entitled “Creative designing in multicultural organizations”, concerning designing of products, structures and processes within Danish multicultural companies. The research project is funded by The Danish Strategic Research Counsel.

Duty and Responsibility

The PhD students will be joining an international network of experienced researchers from Business and management studies, Anthropology and Design research, and are expected to partake in longitudinal qualitative data collection/analysis including interviews and participant observation. They will be part of a team and participate in writing of academic articles and in communication of research results. A successful applicant must be willing to acquire a basic knowledge of Danish during the early period of the PhD position.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate a strong interest and preferably prior knowledge in both management/organization theory and contemporary theories on culture.

Applicants must apply for a position within one of the following two themes:


1) Social capital, identities and roles in intercultural encounters Scholarship no.544-0139:Objective: An analysis of how creative and destructive frictions in social identity and employee/management roles in multicultural setting relates to social networks and organization designing processes.

2) Knowledge sharing and language use in an organization designing context Scholarship no. 544-0140:Objective: To investigate in multicultural organizations, the impact of the social uses of language (group formation, social fragmentation) on organizational members’ abilities to locate and use knowledge in an organization designing context.

PhD students in Denmark work under very favourable terms: They are employed on a full-time basis for three years, and the salary is enough to cover all necessary accommodation and living costs and to lead an active life. A PhD student does not pay university fees.

PhD students at Aarhus School of Business (ASB), work under almost the same terms as other research staff, i.e. they have their own office space with a computer, incl. Internet access, email, phone etc., as well as access to secretarial assistance etc. Moreover, expenses in connection with the scientific work are covered, e.g. participation in research courses and academic conferences in Denmark and abroad. There are also good and well-paid job opportunities in Denmark for people with a PhD degree, both within and outside the university sector.

A PhD student in Denmark must complete an individually planned PhD course programme within the relevant research area and conduct a research project under the supervision of experienced senior researchers. The PhD student is also expected, as part of the programme, to spend some time (up to six months), with coverage of travel and accommodation expenses, at another – often foreign – research institution. During the programme, the PhD student is further expected to gain teaching experience within the subject area as well as experience with other forms of dissemination of research results. ASB also finances participation in relevant PhD courses and scientific conferences. In addition, it is expected that PhD students participate in and contribute to the other activities of the department.

Conditions of employment

The PhD fellowship has duration of three years. Graduates and students expecting to complete their study programme in the near future may apply for the fellowship. The employment is covered by a national collective agreement.

The applicant’s research potential will be the determining factor for a positive academic assessment. Exam results will also be assessed. For further information on admission criteria and ASB’s PhD programme, please look here.
