About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will conduct ethnographic research on the impact of robots on work practices, focusing on the development and use of robotics in professional settings.

The postdoctoral researcher will work under the supervision of Dr. Anastasia V. Sergeeva and be based at the KIN Center for Digital Innovation. The research center is a hub for interdisciplinary research on the development, use, and business value of innovative organizational processes and technologies.

The successful candidate will design and conduct ethnographic studies of robotics, focusing on how they are developed in the lab and how they are later used on the work floor. They will also perform ethnographic fieldwork, conduct literature reviews, write empirical research papers for conferences and journals, and present at conferences.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to teaching and collaborate with industry partners to organize workshops and symposia, disseminating their findings. They will also have the opportunity to work with a multi-disciplinary group of researchers and contribute to an international field that is relatively new and multi-disciplinary.

Requirements

To be eligible for this position, candidates must have a PhD in Business Administration, Management, Sociology, or a related social science field. Strong experience with qualitative inductive research methods and ethnographic research is required. Excellent academic skills, motivation to do high-quality qualitative research, and the ability to combine creative and analytical thinking are also essential.

Candidates should have flexible and communicative skills to collaborate with industrial partners and excellent English language skills. Dutch language proficiency is a significant advantage due to the need to conduct ethnography among Dutch-speaking employees.
