About this position
PhD opportunity in Sport Management at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH).

This makes it a strong fit for applicants interested in sport policy, community sport, participation, inclusion, and the social role of organized sport.

Institution: Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Norway.
