FUNCTIEBESCHRIJVING
The full professor will provide academic leadership in the field of the economics of innovation and new technology. This includes performing high-quality research published in peer reviewed journals, interaction with stakeholders (increasing societal relevance and impact of the institute’s research, as well as fund raising), contributions to policy debates, leading the development of a teaching portfolio at MERIT, most importantly the creation of a new Master program, and teaching, especially at the Master and PhD level. The full professor will also contribute to intensifying UNU-MERIT’s contribution to the School of Business and Economic (SBE) of UM.
FUNCTIE-EISEN
The holder of the chair will have an established research reputation in the broad field of the economic analysis of innovation and technological change, and will be able to address a broad range of specialized topics within this field. The research specialization of the chair may either be closely related to existing topics within the institute (such as economic growth, sustainability, network economics, science, technology and innovation indicators, policy evaluation, regional innovation systems), or focus on different topics within the field with complementarities to the above-listed topics.
The candidate’s research reputation will be proven by relevant academic publications and successfully concluded PhD (co-)supervision. Openness towards, and some affinity with, multidisciplinary research and heterogeneous approaches in economic analysis is required of the chair holder. Experience in teaching is also a prerequisite. A track record of externally funded projects for relevant stakeholders is strongly desired, as is previous experience with setting up new teaching programs (especially at the Master level). The successful candidate will also have an inspiring personality and a cooperative spirit. Ability to work in a diverse setting with many cultural backgrounds and sensitivity to gender issues is also a necessity.
