Postdoc in organization studies, frontline work and public encounters
2 months ago
Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant Postdoc at the Department of Organization with a focus on organization studies, frontline work and public encounters. The position has a duration of 2 years, with an optional additional third year of teaching. The candidate is expected to start no later than 1 January 2025.
The Postdoc is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a new research project entitled “Record Keeping in Frontline Work: Balancing Bureaucratic, Professional and Relational Concerns (RECORD)” under the supervision of Associate Professor Anne Mette Møller (PI). The research project is funded by The Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) and situated at the intersection of public administration, organization studies, and the sociology of professions. The project explores how and why frontline workers prioritize different purposes of record keeping in practice, including bureaucratic (legal-administrative), professional (coordinating/action-enabling) and relational (citizen-oriented) concerns. The project further explores how these priorities are reflected in actual case records and their uses and seeks to understand the implications from the perspective of citizens and other stakeholders. (Details available upon request).
The Postdoc candidate should have substantial training in public administration, organization studies, sociology, or similar, with a high research focus on frontline work and public encounters. The project is based on in-depth qualitative research methods (organizational ethnography, interviewing, and document studies). The position requires experience with these methods, particularly ethnographic fieldwork and interviewing. Experience with research participants in vulnerable positions is beneficial. Other relevant areas of expertise include organization theory, professions, bureaucracy, and digitalization. The work involves close collaboration with the PI.
The Department of Organization (IOA) pursues a problem-oriented, business in society approach to understanding and intervening in organizations and organizational life. Our research is focused upon organizing processes and their outcomes and motivated by an interest in organization and management as a practical, situated, contested and changing matter. Our approach is interdisciplinary and combines social-scientific traditions such as organization theory, sociology, ethnography, political economy, and social psychology. Methodologically, our research is predominantly qualitative and often involves case study and fieldwork methodology.
Teaching responsibilities of the Department comprise undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as teaching in post-experience and doctoral education.
To fulfill the research requirements of the position, the applicant chosen is expected to be physically present on a regular basis and actively participate in the teaching and research activities of the Department.
Qualifications
The applicant must hold a PhD or the equivalent. In assessing applications, particular emphasis will be placed on research potential. Emphasis is placed on research relevant to the job description.
The applicant must have professional proficiency in English (written and spoken). As the fieldwork will take place in Danish child welfare agencies, proficiency in Danish is also a requirement for this position.
Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness and relevance of its teaching and research programs. Candidates who wish to join us should demonstrate enthusiasm for working in an organization of this type.
