Endowed Chair/Professorship in Industrial Foundation Governance
Copenhagen Business School invites applications for an Endowed Chair/Professorship in Industrial Foundation Governance at the Center for Corporate Governance (CCG), which is a part of Department of International Economics and Management (INT). CCG is one of the leading corporate governance centers in Europe. Our research and teaching activities focus on ownership structures (including industrial foundations), board work, and GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance).
The endowed chair in Industrial Foundation Governance – which is funded by the Novo Nordisk foundation – will undertake research and teaching on industrial foundation governance at a high international level while promoting knowledge of the industrial foundation model outside of Denmark. The chair is expected to maintain and develop global research leadership in the area, which involves mentoring younger researchers, data collection and data access, organization and participation in international conferences, seminars and workshops. In accordance with CBS research policy, the chair is guaranteed freedom of research within the research area in question.
Examples of research that the professor might cover is value creation, corporate responsibility, long-termism, active ownership, board roles and compensation policies. Most of these issues are of general concern to businesses around the world, but they play a special role in industrial foundations and foundation-owned companies.
INT is an interdisciplinary department with a strong track record in corporate governance, international economics and international business. It is essential that the candidate is able to provide a significant contribution to the department’s distinct research profile.
The position is a permanent full Professorship with both research and teaching obligations. It is our ambition to be in the international frontline in both fields; to publish our research results in leading international journals; to maintain an excellent research environment; to seek synergy between research and teaching, and to have a strong partnership with the business community.
Successful applicants must have a strong record of research publication, teaching experience and interaction with external stakeholders. The candidate must be capable of providing dynamic leadership in the development of research and teaching, in securing external research funding, and in establishing strong ties with the business community.
