Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a number of vacant PhD scholarships within the fields of Digitalization.

Core research areas of the Department of Digitalization are Information Systems and Data Science.

It is the ambition of the Department to bring together scholars who share a common interest in the study of digitalization in context, specifically focusing on co-creating knowledge with enduring consequences through the study of interrelationships and processes connecting people, data and digital technology. The core research areas of the department evolve around the disciplines and topics of Information Systems and Data Science. Faculty often engage with emergent topics and phenomena where digital technologies entangle with new individual, organizational and societal processes and practices. These foci are reflected in the faculty-organized research themes that create a platform for scholars to discuss and collaborate on research, teaching and funding activities.

Teaching responsibilities of the Department comprise undergraduate and graduate teaching in aspects of digitalization. The department provides research-based education in digitalization, covering both business and technical perspectives.

Examples of research areas that a scholarship might cover:

  • Blockchain
  • Data Science & Cyber Security
  • Digital Ecosystems
  • Digital Health
  • Digital Sustainability
  • Digital Transformation of Work
  • FinTech
  • Mood and Digital Spaces
  • Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things
  • Sports Digitalization
  • Theory of Digital
  • The Value of Data
