Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a Ph.D. position in Business and Sustainable Development at the Department of Management, Society and Communication (MSC).
The central objective of this PhD stipend is to advance our understanding of the roles of business in promoting sustainable development in the global South. Research can, for example, address:
- the opportunities and challenges of the circular economy,
- digitalisation and its implication for work and livelihoods,
- the impact of financialisation and lead firms in global value chains on economic development processes,
- prospects and challenges of social and sustainability entrepreneurship,
- worker agency and labor mobilisation in shaping working conditions within firms supplying domestic or global markets.
Applicants are invited to explore sustainable development as a complex and contested socio-political process/phenomenon, which involves potential conflicts or tension between different goals (economic, social and/or environmental).
Applicants are required to develop a theoretically grounded research proposal with a clear empirical focus on sustainable development in the global South. We invite interested candidates from different disciplinary backgrounds in the social and human sciences, such as business and management studies, political science and international relations; sociology and cultural studies; anthropology and geography; and development studies.
The future PhD candidate will be a member of the MSC’s Centre for Business and Development Studies (https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/departments-and-centres/department-of-management-society-and-communication/centre-business-and-development-studies-cbds). It is required that the applicant indicates how the planned PhD research can contribute to this research environment in particular.
MSC carries out multidisciplinary research on the relationship between business and society. Its faculty explore the conditions and practices of responsible management, organisation and governance in a globalising world, sharing a particular concern with culture, communication and context as lenses to understand the interaction and interdependencies of business and society. MSC’s contribution to the study of responsible business and governance is organised around various research environments.
