The ideal candidate must be comfortable working collaboratively with a dynamic team. The position will be at the heart of growing research programs on sustainable business development through transformative innovation and entrepreneurship, the twin transition (green and digital) of industries, and business ethics, working primarily with Professor Mattia Bianchi. The position comes with an option to teach and strong support to publish existing research from the PhD.
The successful candidate has built a research agenda during their PhD and is keen to develop new datasets and extend methodological and theoretical expertise. The general disciplinary background should be managerial and organization cognition, innovation, business strategy and the environment, with a strong interest in systems thinking, sensemaking and paradox theories, and the ambition to publish on the highest levels in management and organization science. The research program centers on the management of natural resources and in particular of forest ecosystems. It seeks to address critical questions related to the sustainable ethos and practices of various actors in the forest industry, the role of new technologies and business models to achieve a better balance between production, social and environmental values of forests.
A background with experience in qualitative methods (case studies, interviews and observations) is essential. Sufficient knowledge of quantitative methods is also welcome. This role is ideal for candidates who are enthusiastic about contributing to our understanding of the tensions between economy and ecology, and how these challenges can be addressed through innovative cognitive frameworks, technologies, and business models. Candidates will explore the wider societal and planetary repercussions of the use of natural resources by humans.
The postdoc position is also part of
https://www.hhs.se/sv/forskning/institut/misum-startpage/, which is SSE's cross-disciplinary Center of Excellence on sustainability research. The applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent and show an ability and aspiration to publish manuscripts in the top journals of our field. Priority will be given to candidates with research relevant to the topics above. Professional proficiency in English (written and spoken) is a requirement, while proficiency in Swedish (written and spoken) is an advantage. We expect the candidate to relocate to Stockholm.
