Copenhagen Business School, Department of Organization invites applications for a vacant Postdoc in corporate networks and computational social science

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a postdoctoral position associated with the CLONE project (Consequences of Long-term Organizational Embeddedness). The position offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of corporate network analysis, computational social science, economic sociology, and large-scale research infrastructure.

The CLONE project studies the structure and transformation of corporate networks and the organizations and individuals that constitute them.

The position combines independent research with collaborative data development and provides considerable opportunities for developing new research using a unique combination of network, accounting, and textual data.

  • Computational analysis of annual reports and other corporate texts

Qualifications The applicant must hold a PhD or the equivalent. In assessing applications, particular emphasis will be placed on research potential.

Knowledge of the CLONE database and historical developments of Danish corporate networks is key to be able to fulfill the tasks of the position.

The applicant must have professional proficiency in English (written and spoken).

Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness and relevance of its teaching and research programmes.
