The Entrepreneurship section at Umeå School of Business and Economics are recruiting a motivated and ambitious graduate student for a project focused on eco-innovation, coopetition and business models. We welcome your application no later than Januari 6, 2017.
Project description
The Entrepreneurship section at Umeå School of Business and Economics have newly started a project which looks into the development and diffusion of eco-innovations. More precisely, this project investigates how competence development programs support small- and medium-sized firms’ possibilities to, via new business models, adopt digital technologies, e.g., 3D-manufacturing, while improving environmental impacts. We are looking for a PhD student who wants to conduct research within the project and study the development of the firms’ participating in this competence development program. An important dimension of this development concerns how these firms, via cooperation and competition, i.e., coopetition, can support or hinder the eco-innovation. The competence development program will start spring 2017 and is run by a project leader associated with Umeå School of Business and Economics. This close association provides the student with excellent access to the program’s activities, participants and processes. Moreover, the student will have good opportunities to, within the frames of the research project’s purpose, independently shape a doctoral project and define a research question.
Besides being closely associated with the project group, you will, as a graduate student, be a part of the Entrepreneurship section together with other graduate students, senior researchers, professors, and international associates.
Work description
As a PhD student you should take courses and do an independent research project. You are expected to contribute to the research environment through active participation in seminars, conferences and other research activities that support your research as well as the research environment. Within the research group a number of studies are conducted with researchers from other countries. The work may therefore involve some travelling and involvement in such partnerships.
