PhD fellowship in Digital Media, Sustainability and Social Movements at the Department of Management, Society and Communication



Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a PhD fellowship in Digital Media, Sustainability and Social Movements at the Department of Management, Society and Communication (MSC).

Multi-disciplinary by design, MSC leverages the synergies of its faculty to 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 is a significant supplier of research-based teaching to a broad portfolio of programmes, which includes undergraduate, graduate and doctoral teaching and supervision as well as executive education in the fields of:

    Responsible Management, Leadership and Governance
    Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
Business and Development (with an emphasis on the emerging/growth economies context) Organisational Communication (corporate communication, strategic communication, leadership communication, marketing communication, international business communication) and Media Studies

Examples of research areas that the PhD may cover:

    Digital media and activism
    Social movement studies
Qualitative research methods: interviews, field observation, digital ethnography



This position is part of the larger research project DIGIBASE funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark and led by Principal Investigator Julie Uldam. DIGIBASE examines the role of imagination about digital media for dialogue between multinational companies and social movement organisations.

The PhD is expected to conduct interviews, field observation, and digital ethnography. Qualifications related to these tasks and social movement organisations is an advantage.



The successful candidate ideally starts in December 2021.



The Department will give priority to applicants with high grades from their universities. The three-year PhD programme at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme, http://uk.cbs.dk/phd .

It is also required that the applicant shows an interest in joining the Department’s research environment, see https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/departments-and-centres/department-of-man...
