Durham University Business School is very pleased to offer a Marie Curie scholarship, in collaboration with NTNU in Norway, and WES Trade LTD in Malta, for a dual-degree PhD. We are looking to recruit a motivated candidate to study Blockchain adoption and management. The successful candidate will be spending 12 months at Durham University Business School, 6 months at NTNU in Norway, and 18 months with WES Trade LTD in Malta.
The aim of the PhD projects is to explore the behaviour of networked individuals and groups under various levels of anonymity within the context of Blockchain, as well as their expectations and needs regarding privacy, rights, and security. The successful candidate will explore the dimensions of privacy, rights, and security of Blockchain and their societal implications at a large scale.
The successful candidate is expected to complete a rigorous training program, participate in research and networking events, orchestrate the content creation and social campaigns for the project, and deliver research excellence. A career development plan will be prepared for the successful candidate, which will include training, planned placements/secondments and outreach activities.
