2 weeks ago


Frederiksberg, Denmark Copenhagen Business School Full time

Copenhagen Business School’s Department of Strategy and Innovation (SI) invites applications for vacant position in international shipping/maritime economics and management with a focus on strategy and innovation. Expected starting date is 1 January 2025. 

Indicative job duties and responsibilities

SI wishes to strengthen its research and teaching in strategy and innovation within the maritime domain. The new associate professor shall conduct high quality research and take the international shipping industry as the main empirical context for the research activities. 

The associate professor will teach in the BSc program in International Shipping and Trade, which is the only program of its kind in Northern Europe. The program educates students for jobs in commercial and analytical functions in a wide range of shipping and maritime companies. The program enjoys a solid reputation in shipping and is amongst the most popular BSc programs at CBS. The associate professor will teach in the program and supervise BSc projects, focusing on disciplines such as strategy and innovation with a special focus on the context of international shipping. The associate professor will also support the International Shipping and Trade program’s study environment and the newly established alumni network, which will organize events for students and alumni. 

SI’s research is focused on strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, and international business. The department’s ambition is to host an internationally leading environment for research and teaching within the broad area of strategy. The department’s research is generally cross-disciplinary. Faculty members have backgrounds in management, economics, sociology, and economic geography. The theoretical foundation for research in these areas is eclectic, combining strategy, innovation, and/or internationalization theory with insights from economics, sociology, psychology, and economic geography.  

The number of staff at the department is approximately 80. This includes about 45 faculty members (professors, associate professors, tenure track assistant professors), 7 administrative staff, and 30 members of staff who are hired on temporary contracts as research assistants, post docs or PhD students.   

The department is strongly involved in CBS Maritime, an interdisciplinary initiative across several departments, and is also heavily involved in the BSc program in International Shipping and Trade. 

Information about the department may be found at .
