Hi,

Below please find a couple of interesting opportunities for early career academics with a strong track record in research. ACE is the strongest environment in Australia for entrepreneurship research, and QUT is currently on a very nice trajectory with amazing things happening in several technology areas. And Brisbane, of course, is a fantabulous place to live. Note that these positions are advertised, processed and paid centrally by the university, so ACE does not control this process. For interesting candidates who make the central hurdle there may be room to negotiate top-up of the salary, though. I;m sure it would not hurt your chances if you were able to show a combination of strength in entrepreneurship and (knowledge of) one of QUTs strong technology areas. /Regards / Per

2015 QUT Vice-Chancellor Research Fellowship (VCRF) in the QUT Business School

VCRF: Technology, Innovation and Strategy

This VCRF is focused on scholarly research in the domain of strategy, innovation management and technological change. Innovation is all about finding novel solutions to complex problems. Technological and digital change increases the rate at which firms are being disrupted as well as the nature of potential solutions. Specifically QUT is interested in research focused around effects for business arising through strategic application and use of innovation and technological change whether this is research on economic or business models, organizational processes or other innovative developments and diffusions. This VCRF will help build QUT's strength in innovation studies. In the QUTBS this strength relates to understanding process innovation, innovation appropriation and the crucial human aspects of innovation.

VCRF: Digital Productivity

This VCRF is focused on scholarly research around how business processes, organizational structures and corporate culture can be reshaped using information and communication technologies to measurably increase business performance. Understanding the ways organisations can better understand their business, customers and competitors so decisions, possibly informed by turning big, complex data sets into knowledge, can be made about how businesses operate and deliver services, taking full advantage of our increasingly digital economy. Technological and digital change increases the rate at which firms are being disrupted as well as the nature of potential solutions. This VCRF will help build QUT's strength in innovation studies and will involve working with the PwC Chair in Digital Economy.
