    The University of Notre Dame's Keough School of Global Affairs in conjunction with the McKenna Center for Human Development and Global Business invites applicants for a postdoctoral fellow with a focus on social entrepreneurship and innovation. Competitive candidates for this position will have completed prior to joining Notre Dame a Ph.D. in business, economics, sociology, political science, public policy, or a related field. The individual should be able to demonstrate potential for high-quality research, and have publications and conference presentations addressing aspects of social entrepreneurship. Previous engagement with disadvantaged populations is encouraged, as is experience in policy-related research.

     

    Successful candidates are expected to lead and collaborate on research with McKenna Center faculty at the Keough School. At least half of the postdoctoral fellow's time will be committed to research. The postdoctoral fellow will also design and teach one course in the social entrepreneurship minor. They will also play an active role in the Urban Poverty and Business Initiative, a global, multi-city intervention program working with low-income and disadvantaged entrepreneurs as they strive to develop financially sustainable enterprises. Other activities include supporting our efforts in coordinating the Global Partnership for Poverty and Entrepreneurship and as the editorial home for the Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship.

     

    The fellowship will be based in the Keough School, which promotes interdisciplinary and policy- relevant research on critical issues in global affairs, transformative educational programs, and partnerships for global engagement. The Keough School approaches global affairs and development through a focus on integrated human development, which is also central to the University of Notre Dame's mission. The successful candidate will also be appointed as an affiliated fellow of Notre Dame's McKenna Center for Human Development and Global Business, which focuses on how technology, global markets and corporations can align with the Sustainable Development Goals and contribute to addressing issues of poverty and inequality across the world.


    Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and research statement should be submitted through the Interfolio system: http://apply.interfolio.com. Evidence of teaching and/or mentoring effectiveness is also welcomed. Applicants should also arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be submitted via Interfolio. Questions about the position can be directed to the chair of the search committee, Professor Mike Morris, at mmorri24@nd.edu. We will begin the review of applicants on February 15, 2025.
