About Department of Business Humanities and Law (BHL) at CBS
Core research areas of the Department of Business Humanities and Law are organized into different research Units: Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership; Governance, Culture and Learning; and CBS Law.

The position will be affiliated with the Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership unit. What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments: work, nature, economy, civil association, the state, and corporation.

In line with this concern, the PhD should demonstrate a capacity to bridge across several of these environments and place the human at the heart of the project.
