3 days ago
Company Overview
\The Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) is a leading business school in the Nordics, known for its ability to attract outstanding students and scholars from across the globe. Our research forms the foundation of our educational offering, which includes Bachelor, Master, PhD, MBA, and executive programs.
\We are committed to a balanced gender distribution and values a variety of backgrounds and experiences among our employees. We therefore welcome all applicants regardless of their gender, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, disability, sexual orientation, age, or religion or other beliefs.
\About the House of Innovation (HOI)
\The House of Innovation is an interdisciplinary research, education, outreach, and venturing environment focused on innovation, digitalization, and entrepreneurship. Our dynamic research environment encourages internationally competitive researchers to explore interdisciplinary nuances in their work and discover uncharted insights.
\Job Description
\We are seeking a dedicated scholar with a robust research background to join us for three years. The ideal candidate must be comfortable working collaboratively with a dynamic team and have a strong interest in regenerative business models, systems thinking, and market emergence.
\The research program focuses on the quantification, monetization, and commercialization of ecosystem services, with a particular emphasis on forests. It addresses critical questions about the development of new mechanisms to create markets for preserving and regenerating natural ecosystems—such as carbon trading and biodiversity credits.
\Required Skills and Qualifications
\A background with experience in qualitative methods (case studies, interviews, and observations) is essential. Knowledge of quantitative methods is also welcome. This role is ideal for candidates passionate about advancing our understanding of the tensions between economy and ecology and exploring how these challenges can be addressed through multi-level transformations—ranging from novel technologies, products, and platforms to emerging markets, communities, and mindsets.
\The postdoc position is part of MISUM (Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets), which is SSE's cross-disciplinary Center of Excellence on sustainability research. 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.
\Benefits
\We offer a dynamic research environment that provides excellent support for postdoc scholars to advance their academic careers. The successful candidate has built a research agenda during their PhD and is keen to develop new datasets and extend methodological and theoretical expertise.
\This role comes with an option to teach and strong support to publish existing research from the PhD. The general disciplinary background should be entrepreneurship, innovation, organization, and the natural environment, with a strong interest in regenerative business models, systems thinking, and market emergence.
\Others
\The research program also explores the role of entrepreneurial initiatives, emerging technologies, and innovative business models in valorizing traditionally non-commercial public goods and moving beyond resource extraction as the dominant value creation approach for nature.
\This role is ideal for candidates who want to make a meaningful impact in the field of sustainable business development and entrepreneurship.
