Offering a high-performing, large and truly interdisciplinary social science environment, the Department of Social Sciences and Business (ISE), Roskilde University (RUC), invites applications for a position as assistant professor or associate professor in Green Finance. The position is available from February 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position as assistant professor is limited to 3 years.
Our department looks to develop its research and teaching in green finance. We welcome applicants with an interdisciplinary background in the fields of economics and management. The candidate must be able to teach both orthodox and heterodox approaches to finance. We are particularly interested in applicants who seek an interdisciplinary research and education environment and who wants to contribute to developing our teaching and research in green finance.
ISE conducts interdisciplinary, collaborative and socially engaged research based on anthropology, business studies, development studies, economics, legal studies, political science, and sociology. We offer an innovative and interdisciplinary university environment characterized by academic and methodological diversity in research and education. Our department’s researchers put emphasis on research methodologies, and they share a commitment to gaining insights into businesses and society in diverse contexts of change and global engagement. We produce research at the highest international level that feeds into our educational programmes, while simultaneously leveraging our research to impact social, economic, and political change. Research in the department is organised in research groups. The selected candidate is expected to work closely with for instance economists, political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists in one of these groups. Read more about the department here.
Responsibilities and tasks
The substance of the work is the same regardless of whether the candidate is hired as assistant or associate professor. Yet there are some differences as to the responsibilities and tasks:
If hired as assistant professor, we expect you to develop a field of expertise by adding new significant elements to your doctoral thesis and to publish in leading journals in finance/economics. We further expect you to participate in a research group and to contribute to the research culture in the department (academic citizenship). Your daily work will primarily include research and research-based classroom teaching and project supervision with associated examination obligations at BA and MA level in our Business Studies programmes and our brand new Socioeconomics programme. In addition to research and research-based teaching, the position involves sharing knowledge with the rest of society including participation in the public debate. The position as assistant professor entails an obligatory educational training programme that will give you pedagogical and didactic tools as well as familiarize you with the educational model of the University of Roskilde called Problem-oriented project learning (PPL).
If hired as associate professor, we expect that you maintain a steady rate of research publications. Besides the tasks of an assistant professor, we further expect you to attract research grants and other types of external funding, manage research projects, provide supervision of PhD students and guidance to post docs and assistant professors, participate actively in research groups, contribute to the development of our teaching activities as well as to take part in academic assessments and other tasks requested by the department.
