0 Shares

In the academic session 2022/23, Copenhagen Business School is accepting applications for a PhD scholarship in Technology, Organization, and Society.

The main goal is to improve our understanding of how technological advancements such as automation and the proliferation of algorithmically and data-driven forms of knowledge production affect communication, management, and governance in contemporary organizations and societies in the Global North and/or the Global South.

We encourage candidates whose research interests include the role of innovative technologies in governmental, corporate, and citizen behaviors, including but not limited to environmental, health, working life, ethics, and justice concerns, as well as social change.

Applicants must submit a theoretically based research proposal that considers the historical significance and ambiguities of technology in the production of knowledge, communication, governance, and management practices.

They are looking for people with a variety of backgrounds in the social and human sciences, such as media and communication studies, organizational and management studies, culture studies, political science and international relations, development studies, sociology, science and technology studies (STS), anthropology, geography, and philosophy.
