Subject: [AISWorld] PostDoc on Information Systems for Crisis Management Networks. NITIM Graduate School, La Salle - URL, Barcelona, Spain

Research of NITIM (www.nitim.org<http://www.nitim.org>) is positioned at the interface of
management, specifically entrepreneurship, innovation and technology
management, computer science and information systems. NITIM research is
scientifically rigorous and practically relevant. Engaged scholarship
as preferred methodological orientation builds on the cooperation of
industrial and academic partners.

Post Doc Research Topic: Information Architectures in Crisis Management

Information has been recognized as a primary factor in disaster or
crisis relief operations. Information is needed to allow for the
communication with the public and stakeholders and also to improve
effectiveness of coordination and collaboration efforts among
heterogeneous actors. New information and communication technology
(ICT) waves pose new challenges for design, implementation and usage
of technological solutions for crisis management agents.
Taking into consideration the challenges that risk management,
governance structures, new technological waves, and stakeholders pose
for coalitions of heterogeneous organizations in crisis management
situations, this research project aim is to empirically test
informational architecture aspects that improve the understanding of
effective and efficient choices in today’s disaster situations.

The position is open for immediate recruitment but no later than October 2013.

This position is supported by Europe's Marie Curie Program and will
participate in a portfolio of related research projects from multiple
disciplinary backgrounds on the phenomenon of Crisis Management
Networks. Crisis Management Networks emerge and are reconfigured
rapidly after a disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, a Tsunami, or a
terror attack.
With the
rapidly growing number and increasing cost of worldwide disasters this
phenomenon is theoretically interesting and a benign object of study because
of the scale, the impact and the dynamics of crises.

What do we expect?

We are looking for excellent and highly motivated junior researchers
from around the world, who are interested in developing an academic or
professional research career in the domain of NITIM, notably related
to the theoretical foundations and/or application domain. Applicants
should have a background in one or more of the following fields:
information systems, innovation management, technology management,
information management, business administration, entrepreneurship,
engineering, computer science, informatics, media informatics,
management sciences and/or sociology and should fulfil admission
requirements for a Post Doc position.

Candidates are expected to take initiative and responsibility in their
career development, in shaping their research, in teaching, in
designing and participating in international research projects, and in
engaging in the NITIM network and the academic community. Previous
experience in fields directly related to the specific position is a
plus. Excellent research skills and analytical abilities, proficiency
in English (both spoken and written), and proactive communication
behaviour are required.

Successful candidates will join a cross-cultural and
multi-disciplinary group of researchers who are developing their
activity under the umbrella of the NITIM network. The Post Doc
position will be hosted at the Innova Institute at La Salle – Ramon
Llull University in Barcelona (Spain) and will be affiliated with the research
group on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Technology Management (GRIM)
(Prof. Miralles). The Post Doc fellow will become a member of the EU
