Our main interest is on the management and implementation of Integrated Enterprise Systems.
PhD students in Denmark work under very favourable terms: They are employed on a full-time basis for three years and receive a salary in the entire period. The salary is enough to cover all necessary accommodation and living costs and for leading an active life. A PhD student does not pay university fees. PhD students at Aarhus School of Business, University of Aarhus (ASB), work under almost the same terms as other research staff, i.e. they have their own office space with a computer, incl. Internet access, email, phone etc., as well as access to secretarial assistance etc. Moreover, expenses in connection with the scientific work are covered, e.g. participation in research courses and academic conferences in Denmark and abroad.There are also good and well-paid job opportunities in Denmark for people with a PhD degree, both within and outside the university sector.A PhD student in Denmark must complete an individually planned PhD course programme within the relevant research area and conduct a research project under the supervision of experienced senior researchers. The PhD student is also expected, as part of the programme, to spend some time (up to six months), with coverage of travel and accommodation expenses, at another – often foreign – research institution. During the programme, the PhD student is further expected to gain teaching experience within the subject area as well as experience with other forms of dissemination of research results. ASB also finances participation in relevant PhD courses and scientific conferences. In addition, it is expected that PhD students participate in and contribute to the other activities of the department. Conditions of employment:The PhD fellowship has duration of three years. Graduates and students expecting to complete their study programme in the near future may apply for the fellowship. The employment is covered by a national collective agreement.The applicant’s research potential will be the determining factor for a positive academic assessment. Exam results will also be assessed.
