Job description and qualifications

The Department of Law wishes to strengthen its research efforts in this field.

The teaching involved will primarily be at the BSc and MSc in Business Administration and Commercial Law programmes as well as at the Master of Laws programme. The applicant must therefore be capable of teaching in Danish or in the course of the three-year period acquire the skills to teach and examine in Danish.
