Offer Description

Department of Business Humanities and Law

The Department of Business Humanities and Law at Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant non-tenured Assistant Professor in Public Law. The position is located in one of its three constituent units, CBS LAW, which is home to approximately thirty legal academics. The starting date is expected to be September 1, 2024, or as agreed upon during consultation.

The position is in public law including public procurement law, administrative law, climate law, etc. The candidate is excepted to actively contribute to the research and teaching at CBS LAW and play an active role in the unit’s life as well as wider activities at the Department of Business Humanities and Law.

Research Environment:

The Department of Business Humanities and Law is dedicated to an integrated approach to the contemporary challenges facing business and society drawing on the humanities, interdisciplinary social sciences, and law. It emphasizes problem-oriented research to understand those challenges and to build the lifelong capabilities necessary to address them. Faculty within the Department of Business Humanities and Law have diverse research backgrounds and research foci including but not limited to leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, strategy, law, politics, sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, diversity, equity and inclusion, and leisure management. What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments and, by implication, a research interest in the interdisciplinary “conversation” between humanities and social sciences.

CBS LAW is a source of expertise in a number of International, EU and Nordic-specific legal areas and provides, in that sense, the research that business communities need and demand. At the same time, we are strongly represented in European and global scholarship. Our core competences are contract law, company law, IT regulation, public procurement, competition law, tax law, climate law, EU law, international law, and law & economics.

CBS LAW publishes widely both in the international, European, and national core journals and monographs. While we aim to be represented in major international and European law publications.

CBS LAW is a constituent unit of the Department of Business Humanities and Law. As such, a part of our activities concentrates on multidisciplinary research and creating interfaces between law, politics, sociology, history, management, and philosophy. CBS law is involved in teaching BSc in Business Administration and Commercial Law (HA-jur), MSc in Business Administration and Commercial Law (cand.merc.jur), MSc in Business and Economics and Auditing (cand. merc. aud), Master in tax and more than 10 other study programmes at CBS. A majority of the courses are taught in Danish.

The Department, through CBS LAW, offers a highly relevant PhD program within the CBS PhD School.

Qualifications:

• PhD or equivalent degree in law
• Documented ability to teach and write at a high academic level and professional proficiency in English (written and spoken)
• Documented teaching qualifications

• Enthusiasm for empirical and theoretical interdisciplinary research,
• Ability to work autonomously, and as part of a team,
• Excellent organizational and communication skills (both oral and written); proficiency in English is required, knowledge of a further Nordic language a plus (if the applicant does not have knowledge of a Nordic language, it is expected that the candidate will learn Danish or another Nordic language as most of the Law courses are taught in Danish),
