Denmark: PhD scholarships in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Copenhagen Business School

Overview

The Department of Innovation and Organizational Economics at the Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a number of vacant PhD scholarships within the fields of innovation and/or entrepreneurship. Research proposals could, for example, investigate topics relating to technology licensing, the organization of innovative activities, external knowledge sourcing, open innovation, appropriation of benefits from innovation, survival of newly established ventures, and transition to self-employment.

The Department will give priority to applicants with top-grades from their universities and to applicants who can demonstrate an ability to work with theory and empirics. It is also required that the applicant shows an interest in joining the Department's research environment, see http://uk.cbs.dk/ino .

The three-year PhD programme at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme, http://uk.cbs.dk/phd .

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 increasingly demanded. Two thirds of CBS PhD graduates go on to employment outside universities and public research institutions.

Closing date: May 15, 2010 at 12.00 noon.

Further information can be obtained from Keld Laursen, phone +45 3815 2565 , or e-mail phd2010.ino@cbs.dk. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact the Department well in advance of the closing date in order to develop a project proposal.
