PhD scholarships in Performance Management and Operations Management Studies

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a number of vacant PhD scholarships within the fields of Performance Management and Operations Management Studies. The expected starting date is September 2024.

The Department of Operations Management covers and integrates five academic research areas:

  • Supply Chain Management (design and management of flows of goods, services, knowledge and information between firms);
  • Management Accounting (design, use and effects of financial and non-financial measures in strategy development and implementation);
  • Innovation Management (deployment of management tools and mechanisms to connect technology, organization and markets);
  • Operations Management (relation between production, organization and strategy in manufacturing and service industries);
  • Managerial Economics (decision modelling around pricing, costing, production planning and forecasting).   

Our vision is to be bold in ideas and strong in practice. It is the ambition of the Department to nurture a fruitful debate among research areas. This allows cross-disciplinary exchange of research ideas and helps fostering a strong intellectual environment. The Department understands management in relation to managerial tools and instruments that help to frame and make business issues visible and amenable to intervention, development, and control. The Department wishes to develop research and teaching in close connection with practice. Candidates who are able to add to the academic research areas of Management Accounting, Managerial Economics, Operations Management and Supply Chain Management and work among two or more of these areas will have an advantage. Competency and skill in empirical research (any method) is an advantage as is the ability to bridge the Department´s research areas.  

The Department of Operations Management supplies teaching and supervision to undergraduate, graduate, masters, executive and PhD courses within the areas of the department. The department develop research initiatives within different areas and examples of research initiatives supported by the department: 

  • Accounting, Organizations and Decision-Making
  • Generative AI in Supply Chain and Operations Management
  • Performance Evaluation and Reward Systems
  • Sustainability as a Service Offering
  • Supply Chain Responsiveness and Resilience
  • Sustainable Supply Chain

We encourage candidates to apply by submitting interdisciplinary PhD proposals that link to, or ideally combine, different research areas of the Department. Proposals encompassing the above mentioned areas will have an advantage. In order to fulfill teaching obligations, the selected candidate will be expected to teach within the areas of Managerial Economics, Organizational Economics and Operations Management. Therefore, applicants with interest or previous experience in these fields have an advantage.

PhD in Diversity Studies

PhD scholarship in Diversity studies

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a PhD fellowship in Diversity studies with a focus on the intersection of gender and religion at the Department of Business Humanities and Law (BHL). 

The PhD position is a 3 year full-time contract connected to the Carlsberg Foundation research project “Women’s Employment Journey in Danish Multinational Enterprises in the Arab Middle East” led by Associate Professor Claudia Eger. See more information about the project here. The project will last for three years, and the team will consist of a PhD, a Postdoc, and a research assistant. The envisioned starting date of the PhD position is September 1, 2024.

Examples of research topics that the PhD project may cover: 

  • Connecting religious studies and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) scholarship
  • Sensemaking and identity work of female managers and employees
  • History, development and institutionalization of EDI policies and practices in Saudi Arabia and the Arab Middle East
  • Women’s employment experiences in Danish multinational enterprises in Saudi Arabia

Core research areas of the Department of Business Humanities and Law are organized into different research Units: Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership; Governance, Culture and Learning; and CBS Law.

What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments: work, nature, economy, civil association, the state, and corporation.

In line with this concern, the PhD should demonstrate a capacity to bridge across several of these environments and place the human at the heart of the project.
