Dear All,

In the Department of Information Studies, University of Copenhagen we have two open PhD positions.

PhD Scholarships at the Faculty of Humanities
The Department of Information Studies is looking for two PhD fellows to be part of the department's research activities and to contribute to one or more of the department's research agendas.

Deadline for applications, 2 May 2018.

The three-year position is to be filled by 1 September 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Area of research
The PhD scholarships are open-area; we are looking for applications in all of the department's areas of strength.  We are especially looking for PhD project proposals that augment the department's strong, international research profile in new ways and areas.  It is expected that the PhD fellows will take active part in the department's research activities and it is a plus if the proposed research project is situated between multiple areas of research within the department's research profile.  We expect that the proposed research project is clearly situated within the department's research strengths and activities and that it is clearly connected to the expertise or interest of individual faculty members or research groups.
