PHD Scholarship-NHH Norway

PhD programme and scholarships

The Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH) are
pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of PhD Research
Scholarships. 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 the PhD
programme at NHH with working as a PhD scholar. PhD 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 load is 25%, with
the remaining 75% 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
45, which is currently 353,000 NOK gross. 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 2009
