Copenhagen Business School and the Department of International Economics and Management invite applications for a vacant PhD scholarship within the field of China Studies. The PhD position is funded by the Sino-Danish Center (SDC) secretariat.

Core research areas of the Department of International Economics and Management are 1) International Business, 2) Emerging Markets, 3) Asia Studies, and 4) Corporate Governance. It is the ambition of the Department to be in the international frontline in these research areas; to publish our research results in leading international journals; to have an excellent research environment; to seek synergy between research and teaching, and to have a strong partnership with the business community.
