The House of Innovation (HOI) at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) currently invites applications for an open rank faculty position in Digital Innovation/Information Systems.

Applicants are expected to engage in both research and teaching in the area. The position is open rank, and we primarily aim to fill the position at tenured associate or full professor level, but we also encourage strong tenure track candidates to apply.

In research, the successful 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 from designing and delivering courses, as well as from coaching student projects, is considered a merit. Candidates will be expected to interact and collaborate with faculty from other disciplines and to exercise intellectual leadership in their discipline. An ideal starting date for successful applicants is Fall 2023, but we are open to discussing other dates. Salaries are competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience, and are set on an individual basis.   

For open rank candidates on associate or full professor level, hiring can be linked to evaluation for tenure (associate professor level) or promotion (full professor).
