Copenhagen Business School (CBS), under the prestigious Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Doctoral Networks grant (Economics Panel), invites applications for three fully funded PhD positions to be carried out within the international Ports as Energy Transition Hubs (POTENT) project. The project spans leading universities across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and France in close collaboration with industry partners who participate to anchor the research in practical challenges and opportunities emerging from the clean energy transition.<\/p>\n
They are looking for ambitious and curious PhD candidates driven by big questions in economics, strategy, and innovation and eager to work on emerging interdisciplinary challenges, even if they have not previously worked in maritime or energy-specific domains.<\/p>\n

\nHost:\u202fDepartment of Strategy and Innovation and the cross-disciplinary research environment CBS Maritime
\nFocus:\u202fHow organizations shape (and are shaped by) the energy transition. This project explores how new business models and institutional frameworks emerge in response to climate change and environmental pressures, focusing on strategic innovations and the managerial and policy implications for supporting transformation in near-shore energy systems, such as ports.
\nSecondments:\u202fKEDGE Business School (FR), Port of Esbjerg (DK)<\/p>\n
\nHost:\u202fDepartment of Economics and the research center Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI)
\nFocus:\u202fThis position invites candidates with an interest in applied\u202feconomics, energy policy, or infrastructure regulation. The research will explore the\u202fsocio-economic dynamics\u202fof energy systems, with a focus on\u202fmarket design,\u202fregulatory frameworks,\u202finnovation, and\u202fpolicy mechanisms\u202fthat can support the integration of\u202frenewable resources\u202finto broader infrastructure networks.
\nSecondments:\u202fNorwegian School of Economics (NO), Danish Utility Regulator (DK)<\/p>\n
\nHost:\u202fDepartment of Strategy and Innovation, in collaboration with CBS Maritime and CSEI
\nFocus:\u202fA systems-level view on sector-coupling and industrial symbiosis, studying how energy, transport, and logistics networks evolve in interconnected ways. The research addresses regional integration and value adding chain structures (e.g., global value chains, global supply chains) in energy transitions.
