years)

Are you excited to explore the emergence of technologies that will have a

major future impact? Do you have robust experience in collecting and analyzing

major qualitative datasets, and strive for high-quality research?

The Department of Management Studies at Aalto University School of Business

seeks applications for a two-year position as a Postdoctoral Researcher in

Organization and Management subject. The start date is between 1 February and

30 April 2020 (the date is to an extent negotiable). The position is in the

Academy of Finland project studying the transition of quantum computing from

labs to markets (2019-2023).

The project focuses on the socio-economic aspects of market emergence for

quantum computing, and the related science and technology. A prior

understanding of quantum computing or quantum physics is not expected - the

research team led by Prof. Nina Granqvist will support and train the candidate

in developing the suitable subject knowledge during the project.

We expect the candidate to have a demonstrated ability to conduct qualitative

data collection and analysis independently. Candidates with prior empirical

and conceptual understanding of technology and/or market emergence and

development are prioritized. Knowledge of the relevant literatures in

organization theory (e.g. institutional theory, sociology of markets,

socio-materiality, micro-social approaches), the sociology of science and

technology, or technology strategy are considered important. Moreover, a

suitable candidate has ambition to develop as a scholar, and to conduct high

quality research with the aim to publish in the best management journals.

Evidence of publishing skills is a merit. The position is associated with a

very moderate teaching load - one course per year.

We look for scholars who are completing, or have completed within the past

four years, their doctoral studies in a relevant field of study. The position

requires fluent skills in the English language. Additional language skills are

a merit. The post-doctoral researcher is required to be in residence for the

The postdoctoral scholar joins an engaged research team consisting of

collect data and participate in events abroad, and an opportunity for research

stays in our partner organizations in Europe and US.
