Postdoctoral Researcher, Copenhagen Business School
Copenhagen Business School invites applications for two Postdoc Positions at the Department of Organization, one position with a background in Social Science and one position with a background in Computer Science, Network Science, Physics, Computational Social Science or related fields. Expected starting date is January 1st, 2021.
The Post Doc positions are time-limited for two years and connected to the research activities of the three-year Carlsberg Foundation project “NetCareers – Careers through Complex Networks” led by Associate Professor Lasse Folke Henriksen. The posts may be extended. The Postdocs will work on modeling complex life course trajectory networks of complete population cohorts in high income countries, focusing on career mobilities and stratification outcomes. Using large scale administrative data sets from high income countries, the project models the movement of people through institutions and organizations over the life and links these networked trajectories to outcomes such as status, wages, wealth, and health. The NetCareers project assembles an inter-disciplinary team of researchers from the sciences and social sciences to develop new techniques for studying complex network trajectories and their outcomes. The team is embedded at the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School, and the Postdocs will be working in collaboration with the team.
Questions should be addressed to Lasse Folke Henriksen lfh.ioa@cbs.dk.
