Description
CTF, the university's Service Research Centre (www.ctf.kau.se), is one of the world's leading research centres in the area of services. The centre employs around 60 researchers and doctoral students who conduct research in business administration, psychology, information systems, working life science, sociology, and sociology of religion. CTF is renowned for extensive partnerships with business and public enterprises. Our research is focused on three main areas; service innovation, service experience and service management, but continuously develops in new directions. CTF is designated as an excellent research group at Karlstad University.
Research
The postdoctoral position will be connected to ongoing research within CTF, devoted to how service research can increase the understanding of, and thereby strengthen, the industrial sector. Companies within the industrial sector is undergoing a change process commonly referred to as servitization which
implies a shift from offering products to offering integrated products and services that deliver value in use. Servitization is associated with development of new service-oriented business models and a shift from a goods-dominant logic to a service-dominant logic. In order to conduct research of servitization
the Post Doc applicant should be willing to conduct data-collection at manufacturing companies that are partners to CTF. As servitization implies a shift in business logic often conditioned by the environment, command of or willingness to learn institutional logic and institutional theory is a merit. The researcher
should show clear ambition to achieve international journal publications within relevant areas such as marketing, management or likewise. In this context, excellent results are equivalent to level three or four publications according to the ABS list. The aim is to produce research that is relevant to individuals,
organisations and the society as a whole. The position will mostly comprise research. The rest, at most 20%, usually comprises teaching or other development work.
Qualification requirements
The eligibility requirements for a postdoctoral position is a doctor's degree. For the present position, the candidate needs to have a PhD in Business Administration, Psychology, or any other relevant discipline that has prepared the candidate to conduct research on servitization of relevance to CTF.

degree may not have been rewarded more than three years prior the application deadline. Doctor's degrees awarded earlier may be taken into consideration if there are special reasons to do so, such as parental leave and illness.
Assessment criteria
Considerable weight is given to applicants' academic merits and particularly to publications in international journals related to CTF's research areas. Previous publications in public management journals with a service research framing is an extra merit. The ability to examine and understand Swedish Governmental authorities and also contribute to the regions business development will be considered as important assessment criteria's. Weight is also given to experience of participation in national and international research projects/partnerships. It is important that the successful applicant is highly motivated and shows ability to work independently as well as to cooperate with other researchers, since much of the research done at CTF is collaborative and transdisciplinary.
