Based in architecturally beautiful buildings in central Copenhagen, the Department of Marketing is a leading provider of excellent research-based education.

Our mission is to deliver excellent research-led education to a worldwide audience at all levels, and to engage with business and society.
Faculty members are committed to rigorous theory development and theory-driven, empirical research—outcomes that are central goals for any reputed business school. The Department of Marketing focuses on contributing to a holistic understanding of the interactions and activities in the marketplace. Thus, our research focuses on marketing, yet we draw on other academic disciplines to the extent that they improve the quality of our marketing research. We accordingly publish in both marketing and other relevant journals contained within the Academic Journal Guide (AJG; formerly ABS) ranking list. The research of the department covers broad areas (often cross-disciplinary) in marketing. Faculty members use a wide range of methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative. Through our research-based teaching, we contribute across a palette of courses and programs at Copenhagen Business School.
The Postdoc is a non-tenured position for a period of 9 months, from October 1st, 2025, until June 30, 2026, with research obligation.
To fulfill the research requirements of the position, the applicant chosen is expected to be physically present on a regular basis and actively participate in the research activities of the Department.

Emphasis will be placed on research relevant to the job description.
Candidates should hold a PhD from an accredited institution.

An advantage will be if a candidate has experience with conducting research on the sharing economy. Moreover, candidates should possess skills in quantitative methods of marketing research, ideally demonstrated through publications in academic journals at least at the level of 3, according to the current AJG ranking.
