Nordregio invites applications for two positions as
Senior Research Fellow in Policies for Regional Economic Growth and Innovation

Your main tasks will be to work with issues of competitive regions and facilitating economic development through topics such as green growth, smart specialisation, innovative governance and entrepreneurship in the Nordic countries as well as in Europe more generally.

Particular interests in EU and national policies for regional growth, and for issues related to the integration of economic development and spatial planning are an advantage.

A senior research fellow is expected to hold a PhD or have similar qualifications, in addition to a number of years of relevant work experience. We expect you to be experienced in project development and project management. As a senior research fellow you will have the responsibility to initiate, attract and lead externally funded research and development projects.

For these positions we further expect you to have experience in, and a broad knowledge of, current scientific developments in the international academic fields of policies for regional development, and a wide knowledge of the Nordic and European institutional systems. Furthermore, specific knowledge within at least one of the following topics: entrepreneurship, innovation, smart specialisation, green growth and spatial planning is required.

Your professional background could be in human geography, economics and business studies, regional planning, political science, sociology or an associated discipline.

You should have an extensive network of research contacts and a good knowledge of policy and policy-making at regional, national and EU level. Concerning the former we expect you to have an in-depth knowledge of at least one of the Nordic countries.

Fluency in English is essential. If the applicant does not speak a Scandinavian language, he/she must be willing to acquire a working knowledge of Swedish, Norwegian or Danish within a relatively short period of time. Possession of other European languages would be considered as an additional advantage.

We offer competitive salaries and term contracts with a maximum length of four years. After further agreement the contract can be renewed for an additional four year period.
