Generativ AI & Innovation - Aalborg Universitet Øst

Do you want to contribute to high-quality research in Generative AI, innovation and the diffusion of digital technologies? Aalborg University Business School is seeking a motivated new colleague for a four-year position as Assistant Professor to join the Innovation, Knowledge and Economic dynamics (IKE) Group. This is a full-time position available from January 1, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Your work tasks

As our new colleague, you will join a dynamic research environment and are expected to contribute actively to the continued development of the group’s research on technology diffusion and digital transformation. You are also expected to engage actively in joint IKE activities. Your primary research focus will be within innovation and technology dynamics, and we expect you to combine organisational and qualitative insights with computational and data science methods.

Within the IKE group, we value a diversity of methodological approaches, spanning from quantitative analysis of register, survey, and patent data to various qualitative methods. If you have an interest in, or experience with, computational social science methods (for example natural language processing, network analysis, or machine learning applied to large text, register and patent data), there is ample opportunity to apply and develop these skills within the group. In addition to research, you will play an important role in our educational programmes. You will deliver teaching at the undergraduate and master’s levels. You will contribute to teaching core disciplines in our bachelor programmes in Economics and Business Administration (HA/EBA) and on the MSc in Economics and Business Administration, in particular the Business Data Science specialisation.

Your responsibilities will include lecturing, supervising student projects, and engaging in Problem Based Learning (PBL), which is central to Aalborg University’s pedagogical model. While the position focuses on research and teaching, you will also to a lesser extent undertake coordination and administrative tasks related to your educational obligations. You will be expected to be present at the business school at least three days a week.

Your Competencies

For the research aspect, we are looking for candidates motivated to produce internationally recognised work. When you apply for the position as Assistant Professor, we expect you to show high potential and a keen interest in pursuing publications in top-tier journals.

On a personal level, we are seeking a team player who will engage actively in joint activities within the IKE Group. You should thrive in a collaborative environment that involves working on externally funded research projects. Regarding language skills, the main working language at Aalborg University Business School is English. Danish language skills are not required at the time of employment. Please note that non-Danish speaking employees will undergo a course in basic Danish language qualifications within the first two years of employment.
