Business Historian

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant Assistant Professorship in Business History with a particular focus on archival work and written historical presentation at the Department of Business Humanities and Law.

The assistant professorship is a fixed-term position with research and teaching obligations. Starting date is expected to be 1 July, or as agreed upon during consultation. The position is connected to an externally funded research project on the history of a particular Danish company (Grønbech A/S) in a 200-year perspective.

The assistant professor's tasks will focus on archival work and preparing a book manuscript and research articles. Responsibilities include:

• Retrieval and processing of relevant historical sources from Danish and foreign archives.
• Preparation of a coherent historical manuscript on the company's 200-year history, with a special focus on the company's strategic choices and historically shifting product areas.
• Teaching and associated examination in existing CBS programs.
• Individual and group-based research meeting high international standards.
• Promoting CBS's academic reputation.

The ideal candidate will be able to work independently with complex historical sources, critically assess archival materials, and synthesize large amounts of information into a coherent and analytically sound historical narrative. Prior experience in manuscript development, editing, and/or the publishing process will be an advantage.
