The department of Management, Society, and Communication (MSC) at CBS is looking for a Student Assistant to offer support on the 'FRONTIERS' Project. The work involves supporting administrative tasks and ongoing projects related to the 'FRONTIERS' Project.

'FRONTIERS' is a five-year collaborative research project funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and led by professor Karin Buhmann. The project runs April 2024-March 2029.

FRONTIERS explores frontiers along two dimensions: frontiers of sustainability governance; and frontiers for natural resource use and extraction for the green energy transition – with an emphasis on minerals, thereby advancing the research frontier on just and fair transitions. Working across several aspects of social science and their application in a technical and natural science context, we push the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research frontier for a comprehensively sustainable transition towards low-carbon societies.

We are over 130 full-time employees at MSC, who all work in research, teaching, and administration. MSC is in Dalgas Have, Frederiksberg. You can read more about the project at: frontiers.cbs.dk/en/
