PhD scholarships in Corporate Finance/Asset Pricing at Aalborg University

The Department of Business and Management at Aalborg University invites applications for two PhD scholarships in the areas of Corporate Finance/Asset Pricing.

The Department of Business and Management at Aalborg University conducts research in a wide array of business disciplines. The department is in the process of preparing itself for a transformation into an accredited business school with a strong corporate engagement profile.

The Finance group at the Department of Business and Management has recently undergone a rapid expansion and currently consists of three Full Professors and two Assistant Professors. Their research has recently appeared in Management Science, Journal of Banking and Finance, European Economic Review and similar high-quality academic journals. Furthermore, the finance research group is responsible for a master degree in finance. To further enhance the group, we are looking for two highly qualified, independent, motivated and goal-oriented individuals with a passion for research.

The PhD specialization in Finance focuses on developing solid theoretical knowledge and methodological skills of the PhD students. Consequently, we are looking for applicants with strong quantitative skills and a solid background in finance, economics, financial mathematics, and statistics. Candidates must be strongly motivated for doctoral studies and express an interest in academic research and teaching, and have good communication and analytical skills. Proficiency in English is required in order to publish and present research results at international academic journals and conferences. We welcome project proposals---theoretical or empirical---in two broad areas: corporate finance and asset pricing.
