PhD Scholarship in Organization, Media Theory and Digital Cultures
(http://www.cbs.dk/cbs/jobs-paa-cbs/ledige-stillinger)

Copenhagen Business School’s Department of Management, Politics and 
Philosophy (MPP) invites applications for a PhD scholarship in the 
interdisciplinary field of media and organization theory. The 
applicant’s proposal should outline a program of research, with a focus 
on social and political practices that attend new forms and processes of 
organizing in contemporary digital cultures.

Organization studies is beginning to engage with digital culture and the 
developments precipitated by digital media as a technological condition 
as well as the kinds of social, political and cultural consequences 
produced by their advance. The PhD project is expected to focus on the 
contemporary orchestration of socio-technical relations and how these 
change the logics of informational and affective organization. 
Empirically, this calls for in-depth inquiries into experiments with new 
organizational forms and processes of connectivity, cooperation and 
control. Conceptually, this calls for new approaches that relate the 
study of material and affective processes of organization to recent 
conceptual developments in theorizing digital media and network cultures.

The successful applicant will enter the three-year PhD program at CBS 
(http://uk.cbs.dk/phd) and will be enrolled at the PhD School in 
Organization and Management Studies. The PhD project will be carried out 
in close cooperation with the Centre for Digital Cultures (CDC), 
Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany 
(http://www.leuphana.de/en/zentren/cdc.html). The scholarship is funded 
by the Volkswagen Foundation, which supports the CDC, with MPP as 
cooperating partner. The successful candidate will thus not only join 
the doctoral school and MPP’s vibrant research environment; he/she will 
also be part of an international research project and network with 
Leuphana University as a hub. You are thus expected to regularly 
participate in seminars, workshops and conferences in Lüneburg and at 
further partner institutions.
