Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

The Department of Business Development and Technology (BTECH) at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, invites applications for assistant professorship positions in organisation and management.

An assistant professorship is a full-time three-year position. Assistant professors divide their time evenly between research and teaching activities, and the successful candidates will become part of the AIROD research section. The starting date is 1 January 2025 or as agreed upon.

Job description

We are looking for candidates who can strengthen our research profile. A significant part of our work involves business partners, and we often perform applied research. Hence, it is important that the candidates conduct research on topics that are relevant to modern companies, and candidates with research activities involving industry will be preferred.

Research topics relevant to the position can be (but not limited to):

  • Organizational psychology
  • Strategic human resource management
  • Organizational design and development
  • Digital management and leadership

Candidates are expected to teach and supervise students at bachelor's and master's levels. Our study programme portfolio contains a MSc program and a bachelor's degree in Economics and Business Administration as well as industry-oriented training. Hence, candidates should be able to teach courses in one or more of the following domains: Organisational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, and Leadership.

Your qualifications

Employment as assistant professor requires a PhD degree in a relevant field.

Applicants are encouraged to describe how their research is important for industry. The description could include concrete collaborations, impact, dissemination activities, etc.

Non-Danish speakers are required to acquire a reasonable knowledge of the Danish language within three years. The department will grant time off from teaching to attend Danish courses during the first two years of employment.

Who we are

BTECH is part of Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University – a top 100 university. BTECH is located in the business-oriented and entrepreneurial city of Herning. The department excels in business, IT and engineering disciplines and emphasises the importance of company collaborations. We have around 1,200 students and close to 100 faculty and staff. Each year, approximately 500 students are involved in company projects in more than 250 companies ranging from SMEs to leading multinationals. Our incubator Business Factory launches 10 new companies each year.

We influence society through business development and technology. For this reason, many research projects are conducted in close collaboration with industry on the basis of new data and new technologies. These projects are generously supported by the ERC, Horizon Europe, the Independent Research Fund Denmark and the Danish Industry Foundation, among others.
