PhD Position in Entrepreneurship, AI, and Labor Market Disruption (DTU Entrepreneurship) - Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark

About the Position

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) advertises a three-year funded PhD position in entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and labour-market disruption at DTU Entrepreneurship. The research examines how AI technologies reshape entrepreneurial activity and labour markets: which tasks and business models are disrupted, how new venture creation responds, and what the implications are for innovation policy and workforce transition. The position is a salaried doctoral appointment under the Danish collective agreement, based at DTU's Lyngby campus.

DTU Entrepreneurship is a leading European hub for technology-based entrepreneurship research and teaching, combining economics, management and engineering perspectives. The doctoral candidate will combine quantitative empirical work - registry, survey or platform data - with economic and management theory, and collaborate across the centre's project portfolio. The specific project direction is agreed with the supervisory team from the group's current agenda on AI, innovation and work.
