Innovation and entrepreneurship are vital sources of growth. To help entrepreneurs, innovative firms, and policymakers grow responsibly, the Hot Spot Responsible Innovation & Entrepreneurship provides knowledge in the area of innovation. Would you like to help us improve our external visibility and strengthen our relationships with external partners? Then you have a part to play as an academic relationship builder / postdoc.
As an academic research professional, you will help improve the external profile of the hotspot 'Responsible Innovation and Entrepreneurship'. You will build and maintain external relationships that may help forward research on responsible innovation and entrepreneurship. This requires a clear understanding of what drives academic researchers, as well as a certain sensitivity to the needs of professionals in the field who stimulate or develop innovations. Your ambition is to act as a linking pin between academic research and practice. An important responsibility will be to support a newly established PhD project on the Responsible Innovation Scan, setting up the network contacts required for developing and validating this Scan, as well as support the data collection and analysis in this project. As part of the Responsible Innovation Scan team, you will develop the infrastructure needed to continue data collection for the scan after this project has been concluded, thus providing a long-lasting asset for the hotspot.
Furthermore, you will be expected to engage the hotspot researchers in projects on responsible innovation and explore possibilities for additional research projects and publications based on data from the Responsible Innovation Scan. You will therefore identify relevant calls for research on responsible innovation and entrepreneurship, and match them to hotspot researchers in cooperation with grant advisors from the interdisciplinary Institute for Management Research (IMR). In addition, you will coordinate an annual event that links academic research to practice. Finally, you will establish a hotspot research council consisting of representatives from non-academic research partners. You will have a small teaching load of up to 10 percent of your working time.
Fixed-term contract: It concerns a temporary employment for three years.

The Department of Business Administration is responsible for the BSc programmes in Business Administration (including a full track offered in English, and a track in International Business Administration) as well as eight specialisations within the MSc programme in Business Administration (all in English). The Department's interdisciplinary research programme is called Responsible Organisation and addresses the multiple values underlying responsibility, the conditions required to realise those values, and the interventions geared to the transition of organisations towards responsible organisations. The Department of Business Administration co-creates knowledge with multiple stakeholders in the wider community to ensure the impact of its academic work.
The Hotspot Responsible Innovation & Entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary research group that makes its knowledge of responsible innovation available to entrepreneurs, innovative firms and policy makers. The researchers share a business ecosystem perspective, while having varied disciplinary backgrounds. This provides these researchers with a better and more holistic understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in the 21st century. Members of this hotspot focus on the responsibility aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship such as adoption of green innovations, market creation for sustainable innovations, open innovation, and green product development. They have published in high-impact journals such as Journal of Marketing, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Product Innovation Management, Academy of Management Journal, Research Policy, Journal of Economic Geography, and Regional Studies.
As an academic relationship builder / postdoctoral researcher, you will be embedded in the hotspot 'Responsible Innovation and Entrepreneurship'. You will work closely together with the coordinators of this research hotspot (Dr Driessen and Prof. Hillebrand) and will be part of the Responsible Innovation Scan project team, consisting of a doctoral candidate and a doctoral supervision team. Formally, you will be a member of the Marketing Chair group, which is part of the Department of Business Administration.
