*PhD scholarships in Information Studies, University of Copenhagen*

The Department of Information Studies, University of Copenhagen, 
Denmark, invites applications for two 3-year fully funded PhD 
scholarships.  The candidates are expected to begin on September 1, 2019 
or as soon as possible thereafter.

The PhD scholarships are open-area; we are looking for applications in 
all of the department’s areas of strength (read more about the 
department here: www.ischool.ku.dk <http://www.ischool.ku.dk>). We are 
especially interested in PhD project proposals that augment the 
department’s strong, international research profile in new ways and 
areas.  It is expected that the PhD scholars will take active part in 
the department’s research activities and it is a plus if the proposed 
research project is situated between multiple areas of research within 
the department’s research profile.  As a minimum we expect that the 
proposed research project is clearly situated within the department’s 
research strengths and activities, and that it is clearly connected to 
the expertise or interest of individual faculty members or research 
groups in the department.

*Qualification Requirements*
Applicants are expected to have a strong educational background.  The 
successful candidates will be part of a dynamic department that spans 
several disciplines, and the candidates must thrive in such an 
interdisciplinary environment.  It is expected that the successful 
candidates take part in the department’s daily life and activities, and 
contribute to the development of the overall research milieu at the 
department.
The applicant’s qualifications for the scholarship are evaluated by 
taking into account the applicant’s general educational and academic 
background such as the applicant’s grade average, thesis grade, language 
competencies, publications and other academic activities given by the 
curriculum vitae as well as the duration of study especially during the 
applicant’s MA programme.
In addition, the proposed PhD project and study plan will be evaluated 
by taking the following into consideration; originality, choice of 
theory and method, disciplinary relevance, and prospects for completion 
within the required timeframe of 36 months.
Furthermore, applicants are encouraged to reflect on how their project 
relates to the research activities and the academic profile at the 
department.

Applications must be submitted electronically no later than *25 
February* *2019 *at 23.59 (11.59 pm) (CET).
