About the Department

Based in architecturally beautiful buildings in central Copenhagen, the Department of Marketing is a leading provider of excellent research-based education. Our strategy is unashamedly ambitious. Our goal is to be the undisputed leader in marketing education in Scandinavia and a leading marketing department on a European level, held in high esteem in terms of our research and education. Our mission is to deliver excellent research-led education to an international audience at all levels, and to engage with business and society.

Faculty members are committed to rigorous theory development and theory-driven, empirical research—outcomes that are central goals for any reputed business school. The Department focuses on contributing to a holistic understanding of the interactions and activities in the marketplace. Thus, our research focuses on marketing, yet we draw on other academic disciplines to the extent that they improve the quality of our marketing research. We accordingly publish in both marketing and other relevant journals contained within the Academic Journal Guide (AJG; formerly ABS) ranking list.

The research of the Department covers broad areas (often cross-disciplinary) in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing, for example, brand marketing management, circular economy and sustainability, corporate social responsibility, decision neuroscience, design management, international marketing, market orientation, product innovation management, relationship marketing, strategic marketing, tourism and destination marketing, and trust. Faculty members use a wide range of methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative.

Through our research-based teaching, we contribute across a palette of courses and programs in the Business School including brand marketing management, business-to-business marketing, consumer behavior, design, international marketing, marketing management, marketing performance, relationship marketing, and tourism marketing.

Vacant positions - how to apply?

When a vacant position has been advertised, and you decide to submit an application, you will need to submit a series of documents (see below). You will see that some notes accompany these documents. This is to help you and, eventually, the assessment committee and the interview committee that will make their recommendation/decision.

A shortlisting committee (consisting of the Head of Department and a faculty member of the department) will be reviewing all the job applications to determine whether a candidate should be shortlisted for further assessment. Minimum two candidates and, when possible, five or more candidates will be shortlisted. The shortlisted candidates will be notified about the composition of the assessment committee (consisting of a faculty member of the department and two academics from outside Denmark). The committee’s subsequent assessment of each candidate (which is either ‘qualified for the position’ or ‘not qualified for the position) will be submitted to the candidate in question. Subsequently, the Head of Department will consider the applications from, and the assessments of, those candidates who have been found qualified for the position and then make his recommendation to the Dean of Research as to which candidate is the Department’s preferred candidate. This candidate will be invited for a job interview with the Business School’s interview committee (the so-called CWAC).

For any questions, please contact Professor Thyra Uth Thomsen, Head of Department of Marketing, e-mail: tt.marktg@cbs.dk.

Best of luck.

Kind regards,

Department of Marketing

You are requested to state your role in each of these projects, whether the project applications were successful or not, and the amount applied for (or actually awarded). Please appreciate that information about unsuccessful project applications are important, too, as they evidence that you are active applying for externally funded projects.

• Include information about your role in research funding you have received (if any). Were you the principle investigator or a co-investigator? What were your work packages (i.e., monetary sum)?

10. Discussion of citizenship activities that candidates have been involved in.

• The department is a community where faculty members engage in collaborative research, education, funding activities, and participate in intellectual exchanges related to such activities. Accordingly, please include information about how you in the past have engaged in citizenship activities. This could include research seminars, brown-bag sessions, and the like. It could be in the promotion of an open and inspiring research debate culture. It also could be in undertaking (large) administrative roles within your department, as well as in representing your department within and occasionally outside the wider business school. You might have served as a member of your business school’s board, research platforms, academic council, and study boards, among others. Finally, you could have been mentor to more inexperienced colleagues.

• 3-years 180 ECTS Bachelor degree
• 2-years 120 ECTS Master degree with a 30 ECTS Master’s degree dissertation with a grade of minimum 10 (following Copenhagen Business School’s [CBS] 7-point scale; the grade 10 on the 7-point scale is equal to 10/12 = 83.3 % out of a maximum of 100 % )

You need to have attained the following graduate point average (GPA) score:

• Either: a combined GPA of 8.2 on CBS’ 7-point scale (i.e., 8.2/12 = 68.3 %) . You combine your Bachelor’s GPA and Master’s GPA by applying the following calculation: (180 x Bachelor GPA + 120 x Masters GPA) / 300

Please submit a detailed overview of each of your course grades (bachelor and master degrees) including a detailed overview in an Excel table that translates each course grade into %. For example, if you have a grading system of 1-5 (with for example 5 being the highest), and you get 4.5 in a course, then you convert the grade to % as follows: 4.5/5 = 90 %.

Finally, it is strongly recommended that you submit:

• Either: Your full GMAT test scores
