08.02.2008 - Redaksjonen

These scholarships are available for the five specialisations in the PhD programme at NHH: Accounting and Auditing, Economics, 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. 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 per cent of a full position a year, with the remaining 75 per cent being dedicated to the successful completion of a PhD.

The annual salary for the PhD Research Scholarships is set according to the Norwegian State Salary Scale for PhD research scholars: State salary scale 43, which is currently 325,800 NOK gross (approximately 41,500 euro or about 60,000 US dollars). The scholarships are subject to Norwegian taxes and benefits, including health care provision and membership of the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.

Applicants must fulfil the admission requirements of the PhD programme. Qualified applicants with research proposals that fit best with the research interests of the departments concerned will be prioritised. The prioritised research areas within Accounting and Auditing, Economics, Finance, Management Science and Strategy and Management are outlined in the programme information provided for each of the five PhD specialisations. In the event of equivalent qualifications, female applicants will be given preference.

Further information about the PhD programme and admissions 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 be automatically considered for scholarships, unless they request otherwise. The deadline for the current round of applications is 1 March 2008.
