Lead the next chapter of fin­ance re­search at CBS

Ready to lead the next chapter of finance research at CBS?

The Department of Finance at Copenhagen Business School is looking for its next Head of Department. We are looking for an internationally recognised finance researcher who wants to combine academic ambition with leadership – and help shape what comes next.

Join an international research environment

The Department of Finance brings together researchers working across financial markets, asset pricing, corporate finance, household finance, banking, statistics, machine learning and AI.

As Head of Department, you will lead around 50 faculty members, 15 PhD students and 11 administrative colleagues. You will also become part of the wider academic leadership at CBS.

Help shape what comes next

This is an opportunity to do more than maintain what already works.
You will help strengthen research excellence, attract and develop talent and create new opportunities for collaboration across the department. You will also support research-based education and help strengthen the department’s international position and societal impact.

Could this be your next step?

If you are an internationally recognised finance researcher with an ambition to lead, we would like to hear from you.

The application deadline is 20 September 2026.
