Working as an Assistant Professor in the E&I section at ABS involves developing your own research agenda that aligns with the section’s focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, while allowing ample scope for intellectual independence and scholarly growth, publishing in top journals, teaching courses, and supervising bachelor’s and/or master’s theses. Specifically, 50% of the time will be for research, while the teaching load will maximally take up the other 50% of time. Research is expected to target top international journals, especially in the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation. The teaching load is reasonable (two to three courses) and can be concentrated both in terms of time and preparation. Teaching will be at the graduate (MSc), the undergraduate (BSc) level or in the executive program.
