Copenhagen Business School invites applicants for a PhD position in Auditing. We especially invite PhD proposals that suggest novel approaches to the study of

• The value of audit and other assurance services to inform discussions about, for example, the future of audit, auditor reporting and audit exemption (regulation of SME-audits).
• Emerging technologies in auditing to develop understanding of whether and how auditing actually becomes more effective and more efficient through automated processes and the application of technology.
• Sustainability assurance to provide insights into how, and with which consequences, auditors (or other assurance practitioners) provide assurance on climate-related and other sustainability matters.
• Regulator-auditor interaction to address problems and potential pathways in public oversight practices, including (but not limited to) the role of firm-level oversight practices, dialogue as well as the role of ad hoc regulatory investigations alongside routine quality inspections.
• Client-auditor interactions to focus on the governance role of audit committees and how and when auditor-audit committee interactions produce desirable effects and when they might have unintended consequences.
• Auditing in the context of audit firm organization and governance to provide understanding of how increasingly intense and sophisticated audit firm-level systems (e.g. quality management, incentive systems, performance measurement as well as culture/tone-at-the-top) operate to manage and control behavior within audit firms.  

The project should speak to contemporary concerns in auditing, and aim to contribute to public, professional and company level debates.

We invite applications for a 2-year postdoc on the project “The Determinants and Consequences of Legislative Capacity” starting August 1st, 2024. The project is led by associate professors Florian M. Hollenbach (CBS) and David Fortunato (UCSD) and funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The postdoc will be based at the Department of International Economics, Government and Business (EGB) at the Copenhagen Business School.  It is a 100% research postdoc—there are no teaching requirements. It is our hope that the postdoc will coauthor with the project leaders and develop publications related to the project.

The project

Because policy is written by elected representatives but implemented by unelected bureaucratic agents with their own preferences, the legislature’s capacity for ex-ante policy design and ex-post oversight sets a de facto budget constraint on potential democratic responsiveness. Importantly, parliaments choose their own capacity by allocating resources necessary for legislative work, yet we observe tremendous variation in these endowments. Why? In this project, we investigate the determinants of capacity choices and their broader implications for democratic accountability.

The “Legislative Capacity” project consists of two work packages. Work package I will focus on developing a formal theoretical model of the legislature’s choice over its capacity for policy influence. The model will consider the trade-offs for current majorities to increase capacity to improve its policy making power while also handing more efficient institutions to future governments, should it lose power. Work package II moves on to empirically investigate the relationships predicted by the theoretical model. To do so, we will collect data on legislative capacity in OECD countries over the last 20 years, as well as subnational legislatures.

The postdoc will work on both packages, contributing to development of the central theoretical model, data collection, analysis, and writing. It is essential that applicants have strong research potential in comparative political economy and the ability to work in a team environment, collaborating/co-authoring with other team members.

Non-exhaustive examples of research areas that the postdoc may cover:

• Comparative Political Economy
• Social Data Science
• Quantitative Methods
• Formal Modelling
• Political Institutions

Department

EGB is a multidisciplinary department that conducts high-quality research in the fields of international business and political science with direct relevance to business, policymakers, and the public. Research at the department focuses on two principal focus areas Business & Government and International Business, in relation to societal challenges. To learn more about the research and education of the department, please visit the departmental homepagehere.

Qualifications

The applicant must have completed – or be close to completing – a PhD in the political science, political economy, or a related field. The applicant must have excellent research skills and proficiency in English (written and spoken). The ideal applicant will have solid skills in formal modelling and advanced quantitative methods.

To fulfill the research requirements of the position, the postdoc is expected to be physically present at the department on a regular basis.

Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness and relevance of its teaching and research programs. Candidates who wish to join us should demonstrate enthusiasm for working in an organization of this type.  

Appointment and salary will be in accordance with the Ministry of Finance’s agreement with the Central Academic Organisation (presently approximately $70,080 USD including pension contribution).

Applications must be sent via the electronic recruitment system, using the link below.

Applications must include:

1. A cover letter outlining the candidate’s main strengths and abilities.

PhD in Humanistic Approaches to Entrepreneurship

The Department of Business Humanities and Law at Copenhagen Business School invites applications for 3-year PhD scholarships in Humanistic Approaches to Entrepreneurship. The starting date is negotiable but should be during the calendar year 2024.

The positions are intended to build capacity in entrepreneurship studies and are connected to the Carlsberg Semper Ardens: Advance research environment “The Entrepreneurial Age: Rethinking Entrepreneurship in Society”. The project group explores in which historical contexts our current understanding of entrepreneurship first emerged, how entrepreneurial discourse assigns value and legitimacy to some forms of behaviour over others, and by which mechanisms it affects social change. How we think and talk about entrepreneurship shapes a critical view of entrepreneurship and creates possibilities for reframing, which provide novel impulses for the future. The PhD positions are 3-year full-time contracts.

For more information about the position, please contact Christina Lubinski, cl.bhl@cbs.dk

Research Environment
The Department of Business Humanities and Law is dedicated to an integrated approach to the contemporary challenges facing business and society drawing on the humanities, interdisciplinary social sciences, and law. It emphasizes problem-oriented research to understand those challenges and to build the lifelong capabilities necessary to address them. Faculty within the Department of Business Humanities and Law have diverse research backgrounds and research foci including but not limited to leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, strategy, law, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, diversity, equity and inclusion, culture and leisure management. What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments and, by implication, a research interest in the interdisciplinary “conversation” between humanities and social sciences.

Within the Department of Business Humanities and Law, the position will be located in the Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership Unit, an interdisciplinary research environment connecting leadership to business ethics and entrepreneurship.

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. The programme is highly international, and every PhD student is expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time at another research institution as a visiting scholar. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme: https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/phd-programme.  

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.

Postdocs in Humanistic Approaches to Entrepreneurship

The Department of Business Humanities and Law at Copenhagen Business School invites applications for multiple non-tenured 2 to 3-year Postdocs in Humanistic Approaches to Entrepreneurship. The starting date is negotiable but should be during the calendar year 2024.

The positions are intended to build capacity in entrepreneurship studies and are connected to the Carlsberg Semper Ardens: Advance research environment “The Entrepreneurial Age: Rethinking Entrepreneurship in Society”. The project group explores in which historical contexts our current understanding of entrepreneurship first emerged, how entrepreneurial discourse assigns value and legitimacy to some forms of behaviour over others, and by which mechanisms it affects social change. How we think and talk about entrepreneurship shapes a critical view of entrepreneurship and creates possibilities for reframing, which provide novel impulses for the future. The Postdoc positions are two-year fixed-term appointments with opportunity for extension to a third year.
