Communication, Digital Technology, and Organization CTO

The House of Innovation (HOI) at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) currently invites expressions of interest for two tenure-track positions (Assistant Professor level).

Candidates are expected to have a background in a field such as Information Systems or Innovation Management. A research focus on Artificial Intelligence will be considered a plus. A PhD in a related field is required by the time of assuming the position.

The House of Innovation is a cross-disciplinary and highly international research environment, with scholars working in Technology and Innovation Management (TIM), Entrepreneurship (ENT), Information Systems (CTO), and Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM). Our researchers have access to important national research networks, such as WASP-HS, and are highly successful in publishing and grant acquisition, for example with a recent prestigious national grant on AI in healthcare.

Stockholm is consistently ranked among the most favorable environments for tech-based entrepreneurship and innovation. HOI hosts the SSE Business Lab, an incubator ranked among the top-ten in Europe by the Financial Times, and has excellent access to the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem as well as to many world-leading companies operating in and from Stockholm. SSE is part of prestigious international consortia such as CEMS, GNAM, and CIVICA. Our students are highly talented and motivated, and our programs are extremely well regarded.

Candidates are expected to have strong qualities in both research and teaching. In research, the candidate should exhibit the ability to publish in top-tier, peer-reviewed, international journals, as evidenced by a promising research and publication pipeline, a presence in the international research community, and publications in leading journals (if available). In teaching, experience with integrating GenAI into innovative teaching is a plus and we expect candidates to have designed and delivered university courses in management and organization of digital technologies or innovation, as well as coached student projects. Candidates will be expected to interact and collaborate with faculty from other disciplines and to exercise intellectual leadership in their discipline.
