New Postdoctoral Openings
CIRCLE is recruiting up to 3 postdoctoral researchers for 3-year full-time positions in innovation studies.
– Published 4 October 2024

The overall aim of research at CIRCLE is to understand and explain how innovation can contribute to a good society and tackle societal challenges such as economic crises, climate change, or the reorganization of the knowledge economy in a globalized world.
Recently, attention has turned in particular towards understanding the societal consequences and potential dark sides of innovation. The pressures on the knowledge economy have intensified due to geopolitical conflicts, social and political tensions due to inequality, shocks like Covid-19 and the energy crunch, paired with the need to decarbonize the economy. This set of pressures is related to a revival of industrial policy with heavy consequences for the knowledge economy.
The post-docs shall contribute to developing research actions to investigate, on the one hand, the consequences of such macro-changes on the knowledge economy and innovation and, on the other hand, the potential and limitations of innovation, and the governance thereof to address challenges related to the changes in the economic landscape.
For more information and to apply, please refer to the full announcement in English or in Swedish.
The deadline for applications is 31 October 2024.
