Two-year Postdoc, Department People & Organisations

SINA provides a rich empirical context to explore many potential questions, puzzles, and phenomena. Our research could draw on democratic organisation and participation, the experiences of young people, their learning processes, community dynamics (within SINA and more broadly), social entrepreneurship, the functioning of this network organisation as a whole, or social and institutional dynamics in the local context. Bex Hewett became interested in SINA via their strong focus on decentralised organising and the principle of “freesponsibility” (freedom and responsibility) that both guide the learning experiences of young people. Bex has a particular interest in exploring process and system dynamics.

The focus of the project will be driven partly by the interests of the successful candidate, with SINA as active partners in the research. We will work together to co-create research questions, study design, and developing conclusions. Throughout the project you will be working closely with Bex and collaborators at RSM and elsewhere (TBD based on the decided focus of the project). The research culture and resources set by RSM’s research institute, Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) (www.erim.eur.nl/), aim to provide you with the best conditions in which to conduct outstanding research.

The project aims to create scholarly impact (via conference presentations and high impact journal publications); practical impact via recommendations to SINA; and broader societal impact via knowledge dissemination activities.

The ideal candidate has experience conducting organisational ethnography, or at least minimum ethnographic methods (including field observation and interviews). In addition to having the required strong social and communication skills essential for ethnographic work, you will bring your experience to actively contribute across the research process, including; data collection (e.g., observation, interviewing), data management (field-note taking, archival record management), analysis, theory development, and writing papers for leading journals. It would be beneficial if you have experience of fieldwork in the Global South, particularly in one of the countries in which SINA operates, but this is not essential. We encourage you to initiate new research questions, explore methodological innovations, and develop an independent research profile that complements the broader project.
