Specific topics of interest include the following: intra- and inter-organizational networks, entrepreneurship, learning and innovation, temporary organizations, and international organizations. The department has a very strong research orientation with a focus on high-quality publications in leading journals. Our faculty publish in e.g. Administrative Science Quarterly, Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Annals, Organization Science, Organization Studies and Journal of Management. The department’s research program is part of TSB’s Herbert Simon Research Institute.

Candidates for this position must have completed a doctorate and if possible some years of post-doc experience. They must demonstrate a strong commitment to high quality research and teaching. They preferably already have a proven track record of international, peer-reviewed publications, or at least a good pipeline of (submitted) papers, and good teaching evaluations.
