Hello John,

Many thanks,
Horizon Postdoctoral Fellowship at Concordia University, Montréal, Québec Canada
Concordia University in Montréal, Canada is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship valued at $47,500 per year for each of two years. The following outlines the focus of the fellowship.
Research program title: Business family transitions: Entrepreneurship and asset allocation within and beyond the family firm
Supervisor(s): Michael Carney & Rob Nason, Management Department, John Molson School of Business
Program description: In this project we examine the asset allocation process in business families (BFs). BFs are late-generation corporate/family constructions that have reallocated their accumulated capital beyond the founding firm into new commercial and industrial ventures through vehicles such as commercial trusts, family offices, foundations, holding companies, and diversified business groups. While the literature has established that late-generation BFs gradually liquidate their ownership positions in a founding firm the literature largely ignores how assets are reallocated and the roles of family and third-party agents in managing them.
Academic qualifications required: Ph.D in Strategy, Organization Theory, Entrepreneurship, or related fields with experience in data analysis.
The post-doc's primary responsibility is to engage with theoretical development and conduct statistical analysis of large scale quantitative data to develop dissemination outputs including practitioner-focused and academic contributions. The position offers opportunities to engage with and develop original, high-quality research. Applicants should be able to work both collaboratively and independently.
