A number of vacant Ph.D. fellowships at the Department of Law, University of Southern Denmark
At the Department of Law, a number of Ph.D. fellowships will be available as of 1 January 2023 or by further agreement. The place of work is at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense.
The applicant’s Ph.D. project must be within one or several of the fundamental areas of law or in the cross field between law and economics. The project must contribute to the research within one (or several) of the institute’s four research groups and must be relevant to the future employers of our students. However, the applicant determines the specific content of the project.
The applicant is expected to have academic qualifications corresponding to the level obtained by completing a relevant Master’s degree programme.
A Ph.D. is a research degree at the highest international level. The Ph.D. fellow will become part of active learning environments, in Denmark as well as abroad, and he or she will obtain an extensive academic knowledge e.g. by participating in relevant Ph.D. courses. Furthermore, the Ph.D. fellow will gain teaching experience since part of the program involves teaching certain courses. The Ph.D. fellow is expected to be able to teach in Danish and/or English.
The Ph.D. fellow will become part of the good research environment at our department. We wish that our new colleague will show commitment and visibility and contribute to the department’s positive work environment and the continuous operation of the department.
More information about the Department of Law is available at the department’s website. The Ph.D. program is provided by the Ph.D. School at the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences who offer further information on their website.
