NHH
Norwegian School of Economics announces the availability of a limited
number of PhD research scholarships (scholars). These scholarships are
available for the six specializations in the PhD programme at NHH;
Accounting and Auditing, Economics, Professional Communication,
Finance, Management Science, and Strategy and Management.
Each
scholarship is for a period of four years and combines taking a PhD
programme at NHH with working as a research scholar. PhD research
scholars are required to work as a teaching and/or research assistant
for the department they are admitted to on enrolling in the PhD
programme. The work requirement corresponds to 25 % of a full position a
year, with the remaining 75 % being dedicated to the successful
completion of a PhD.
The
annual salary for PhD research scholars is set according to the
Norwegian State Salary Scale: State Salary Scale 50, which is currently
416 300 NOK gross (approximately 56 520 Euro or about 73 883 USD). The
scholarships are subject to Norwegian taxes and benefits, including
health care provision and membership of the Norwegian Public Service
Pension Fund.
Applicants
must fulfill the admission requirements of the PhD programme.
Qualified applicants with research proposals that fit best with the
research interests of the department concerned will be prioritized. The
prioritized research areas within Accounting and Auditing, Economics,
Professional Communication, Finance, Management Science, and Strategy
and Management are outlined in the programme information provided for
each of the six specializations. In the event of equivalent
qualifications, female applicants will be given preference.
Further information about the PhD programme and admission requirements can be found at www.nhh.no/phd.
Enquiries regarding admission requirements, PhD research scholarships,
application procedures, and so on, may be directed to the PhD
admission office at NHH: phd@nhh.no.
The
application for the PhD research scholarships is combined with the
overall application to the PhD programme. All applicants to the PhD
programme will automatically be considered for scholarships, unless they
request otherwise. The deadline for the current round of applications
is 1 February 2013.
