Innovation Post-Doc Position
Singapore Management University is seeking to hire a driven post-doctoral researcher with a proven interest and track record in publishing in management journals. Candidates can be considered as long as they hold a doctoral degree or will obtain theirs within the next six months. The position would be initially for one year and could potentially be extended to a second year if both parties would choose to do so.
About the Research Program
We intend to conduct a comprehensive research program that involves qualitative and quantitative methods to test, explain and improve the commercialization of new scientific discoveries by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) licensee firms.
The research involves working with a large research organization's commercialization arm to study past licensing activity, follow current attempts by SME licensees to commercialize inventions, and to develop insights on practices and mechanisms that improve commercialization. These inputs will be developed into policy reports and white papers, as well as an intervention program whose effectiveness can then be tested using a randomized field trial method. The ideal candidate would have a background in the fields of innovation, commercialization of technology, and have knowledge of the strategic management, innovation and entrepreneurship literatures.
Information for the Candidate
The successful candidate should be based in Singapore or be willing to relocate and should be able and willing to travel to surrounding countries for field studies and case-based research. We have a preference for researchers experienced in qualitative methods as initial part of the research program would be case study based.
Candidates should send a two-page resume, a one-page cover letter, and one or two writing examples (of previously published or unpublished work) to pcrama@smu.edu.sg before 30th of September 2017.
Sincerely,
Lee Kong Chian School of Business
