The main profile is that the positions are located in Kristiansand, Norway, and that the PhD-period is three years. There may, however, be given priority to projects involving more than one year at a partner and/or cotutelle university abroad. Furthermore, depending on applicants’ profile and academic experience, some might be offered four years positions including 25 % teaching or other tasks at the School of Business and Law. For some of the positions fluency in a Scandinavian language might be required.

The positions are, broadly defined, within the research area International Management, which is the main specialization of the school’s PhD-programme. To maintain and further strengthen the School of Business and Law’s strong position in the field of International Management, the School will start up a new PhD-student cohort within this specialization from January 2018. Candidates’ research interest should primarily be linked to the competence and research focus of professors at the Department of Management, but other professors at the School of Business and Law may also be relevant.
