PhD scholarships in Supply Chain Management

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for vacant PhD scholarships within Supply Chain Management (SCM), with a focus on the role artificial intelligence plays in SCM OR with a focus on resilient supply chain.

The scholarships will be based at the Department of Operations Management.

The expected starting date is September 2025.

The Department of Operations Management is a broad business studies department that researches and teaches managerial, operational challenges of decision-making and economics.

The department has a strong commitment to detailed empirical analysis and strives to hit the right mix of classical research projects and collaborations with corporative and institutional partners.

The Department of Operations Management covers and integrates five academic research areas:

1. Supply Chain Management (design and management of flows of goods, services, knowledge and information between firms)
2. Performance Management (design, use, and effects of financial and non-financial measures in strategy development and implementation)
3. Innovation Management (deployment of management tools and mechanisms to connect technology, organization and markets)
4. Operations Management (relation between production, organization, and strategy in manufacturing and service industries)
5. Managerial Economics (decision modelling around pricing, costing, production planning and forecasting)

Our vision is to be bold in ideas and strong in practice. It is the ambition of the Department to nurture a fruitful debate among research areas. This allows cross-disciplinary exchange of research ideas and helps fostering a strong intellectual environment. The Department understands management in relation to managerial tools and instruments that help to frame and make business issues visible and amenable to intervention, development, and control. The Department wishes to develop research and teaching in close connection with practice. Candidates who can add to the academic research areas of Management Accounting, Managerial Economics, Operations Management and Supply Chain Management and work among two or more of these areas will have an advantage. Competency and skill in empirical research (any method) is an advantage as is the ability to bridge the Department´s research areas.

Closing date: 10 April 2025.
