PhD Research Scholar Position in Accounting
Norwegian School of Economics
The Department of Accounting, Auditing and Law offers a PhD program within three research areas; financial accounting, auditing and management accounting/control. The PhD programme in accounting provides training that enables students to produce original research of high quality. The programme has a strong international focus, with opportunities to visit other top international universities and business schools. Specialised courses offered by other Nordic universities complement our in-house course sequence.
The programme is relatively small, which ensures close interaction with the department’s faculty members and with research programs such as Beyond Budgeting, FOCUS and the Norwegian Centre of Taxation (see nhh.no for more information).
The PhD program at NHH is designed for those seeking a specialization within the fields of economics and business administration for challenging jobs in the private and public sector.
