Jönköping International Business School
Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) is one of four schools at Jönköping University. We offer an international and team-oriented workplace with competitive education programmes, across Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels, as well as a thriving research environment and many opportunities for personal development. Our mission is to advance the theory and practice of business, with specific focus on entrepreneurship, ownership and renewal. Our guiding principles are; international at heart, entrepreneurial in mind and responsible in action. JIBS is double-accredited, by EQUIS and AACSB. Recent assessments of research productivity and impact ranks JIBS first in Sweden in economics and business administration and first in Europe and second in the world in entrepreneurship.
To further strengthen our position in entrepreneurship and regional science research, we are looking for a Post-Doctoral Researcher to our Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (CEnSE). The position is for two years full time with a possible extension.
CEnSE is a multi-disciplinary research center that performs applied research relating to issues of entrepreneurship and business renewal, regional development and growth, and the interrelation between urban and rural areas. A substantial part of CEnSE research addresses policy relevant problems, for example how accessibility affects regional growth and the way entrepreneurial and innovative processes in business and society are dependent on knowledge and creativity. For more information please visit http://center.hj.se/cense.
WORKING TASKS / QUALIFICATIONS
The position requires a PhD degree in a relevant discipline, for example, economics, economic geography or business administration.
As a Post-Doctoral Researcher, we offer you full-time employment. Most of your time will be devoted to conduct research and take an active role in the continued development of CEnSE (80%). The remaining time is allocated for teaching (20%).
We seek candidates who have a strong wish to conduct high-quality academic scholarship on regional science and/or entrepreneurship. Since the main language of research and teaching at JIBS is English, you must be fluent in both written and spoken English to be an eligible candidate.

Memorial Roger Stough
Dear colleague,
After the sad loss of our colleague and friend Roger Stough we are planning - in close cooperation with the programme director Laurie Schintler - to organise a memorial get-to-gather for him at the NARSC conference in Pittsburgh, on Friday late afternoon, November 15, 2019. His wife and children are also planning to be present. This meeting will last from 17.30 to approx. 19.30. Various colleagues have already volunteered to give a small memorial speech. In the meantime, several others have expressed an interest in joining this meeting.
You are herewith invited to attend this memorial ceremony celebrating the life of Roger Stough and, if you wish to do so, to give a short speech. Depending on the number of volunteers to say a few words, we will have to ration the time. Please send an e-mail on your attendance plan to Karima Kourtit (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. / This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), and certainly if you wish to say a few words. We will then further plan this farewell event for our friend and colleague. You will be further informed on the planning of these activities in due course.
In addition, we plan to compose an informal booklet with personal thoughts on or memories of Roger Stough. All speakers at the memorial session are invited to put down their thoughts in a very compact form (max. 1 page including a photo, a picture, or any other memorable text). This memorial booklet will then be handed over to his wife Barbara at the end of our meeting.
Please send your 1-page contribution well in advance to Elfie Bonke (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), with a c.c. to Karima Kourtit. Also those colleagues, who are unable to attend or who are not giving a short speech, but are willing to express their memories of Roger are invited to send in a concise memorial contribution. This holds for Roger’s friends and colleagues all over the world. The strict deadline for sending in your contribution is October 25, 2019.
So far for now. More news to follow soon.
Best regards,
Karima Kourtit
