Postdoc position "Innovation Hub Manager on Socio-Ecological Sustainability" - University of Muenster, GER

[Tobias Gumbert]

Dear colleagues,

 

as always, with apologies for x-posting. The University of Münster in Germany is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to fill the position of Innovation Hub Manager (100%, fixed-term [31 October 2027], focus area: socio-ecological sustainability) within the European University Alliance “Ulysseus”, an alliance of eight universities funded under the Commission’s 2023 Erasmus+ call. Maybe of interest. Unfortunately, the job advertisement is only available in German 

(https://www.uni-muenster.de/Rektorat/Stellen/ausschreibungen/st_20230809_sk3.html), but here’s a rough summary:

 

Tasks:

-       Implementation of the Innovation Hub’s (IH) scientific strategy “Socio-Ecological Sustainability”

-       Management and administration of the IH

-       Coordination with the IHs of partner universities

-       Identification and realization of third-party funding opportunities

-       Collaboration in establishing joint study programs within the same network of partner universities.

 

Expectations:

 

-       Excellent degree in social sciences, humanities, or natural sciences subject (university degree: diploma and/or master)

-       A doctorate (at least magna cum laude) in the field of sustainability

-       Knowledge and experience regarding key sustainability challenges from a systemic perspective (e.g., proven through doctoral studies or project experience)

-       Very good written and oral English language proficiency are required.

-       Experience with academic self-administration, work within European projects, and/or third-party funding are desirable.

-       Willingness to travel abroad for several days, including longer journeys by train (up to 12 hours instead of flights).

-       Intercultural skills, openness to other work cultures, being receptive to justice- and gender-related issues.

 

Applications in a single PDF should be directed to Franziska Werner (franzisk...@uni-muenster.de) by 06 October 2023. I am also happy to answer more specific questions.

 

Best,

Tobias
