PhD Scholarship
Centre for International Business Law
Scholarship no.: 544-0104
The Centre for International Business Law (CIBL), a research centre at
Department of Law, at Aarhus School of Business (ASB), University of
Aarhus, is advertising one PhD fellowship available as at January 1,
2008 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Only applicants with projects within the research profile of CIBL will
be considered. The research of CIBL is focusing on the legal aspects
of the internationalisation of firms and on the internationalisation
of business law itself. More detailed information about CIBL can be
found at www.asb.dk/research/centresteams/centres/cibl.aspx.
More information on the position can be obtained from Centre Director
Karsten Engsig Sørensen, tel. +45 8948 6335, e-mail: kas@asb.dk.
PhD students in Denmark work under very favourable terms: They are
employed on a full-time basis for three years and receive a salary in
the entire period. The salary is enough to cover all necessary
accommodation and living costs and for leading an active life. A PhD
student does not pay university fees.
PhD students at Aarhus School of Business, University of Aarhus (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 Centre.
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.
Under the so-called 4+4 programme, the PhD student will enrol before
the final year of the Master's programme and the duration of the
programme will thereafter be four years. A postgraduate fellowship has
duration of 2½ years and is directed at graduates with a minimum of
two years of work experience.
The applicant's research potential will be the determining factor for
a positive academic assessment. Exam results will also be assessed.
