XXX Apologies for crosspostings XXX

The Chair of Corporate Social Responsibility at the University St Andrews/SDRC is looking to recruit at least one

Senior Researcher (PostDoc or equivalent)

Our research in the field of Sustainable Value attracts an increasing number of research projects. It is for this reason that we are looking to recruit new colleagues. At this stage we are looking for additional researchers to be based in the United Kingdom.

Our primary activity is to conduct research projects in the field of Sustainable Value (<http://www.SustainableValue.com>http://www.SustainableValue.com) and related fields (Corporate Sustainability Management, Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainable Finance, etc). On a case by case basis we also engage with companies in a research-driven consulting relationship.

In the near future we will continue to conduct more Sustainable Value calculations, we will develop the Sustainable Value concept further and we will continue our dissemination activities. Our activities are backed up by ongoing or starting research projects. We are looking for at least one senior researcher for these and future projects.

Ideally your background is in economics, business studies or management, or environmental sciences with an in-depth knowledge of management. We are looking for colleagues that are passionate about research and are looking for an opportunity to further their research profile. Applicants will be entrepreneurially thinking while giving a high priority to the academic quality of their research. Ideally, your mother tongue will be English or German with very good knowledge of the other language. This particular language requirement is due to some research projects we are currently conducting that require German language skills.

We offer an inspirational and supportive research environment that emphasizes at the same time autonomy and collegiality and cooperation among its researchers. This is an excellent opportunity, if you are looking for an exciting research environment that is full of opportunities. We are of course paying according to your qualifications, experience and performance.

While we expect that most candidates for the senior position will have successfully completed a PhD we of course favour substance over form and look forward to applications with a different but equivalent career background.

You will be based either in St Andrews or in the Highlands at least in the first instance. These positions will remain open until filled.
