<br>
</div>
<font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Research of NITIM (<a href="http://www.nitim.org">www.nitim.org</a>) is positioned at the interface of<br>
management, specifically entrepreneurship, innovation and technology<br>
management, computer science and information systems. NITIM research is<br>
scientifically rigorous and practically relevant. Engaged scholarship<br>
as preferred methodological orientation builds on the cooperation of<br>
industrial and academic partners.<br>
<br>
Post Doc Research Topic: Information Architectures in Crisis Management<br>
<br>
Information has been recognized as a primary factor in disaster or<br>
crisis relief operations. Information is needed to allow for the<br>
communication with the public and stakeholders and also to improve<br>
effectiveness of coordination and collaboration efforts among<br>
heterogeneous actors. New information and communication technology<br>
(ICT) waves pose new challenges for design, implementation and usage<br>
of technological solutions for crisis management agents.<br>
Taking into consideration the challenges that risk management,<br>
governance structures, new technological waves, and stakeholders pose<br>
for coalitions of heterogeneous organizations in crisis management<br>
situations, this research project aim is to empirically test<br>
informational architecture aspects that improve the understanding of<br>
effective and efficient choices in today’s disaster situations.<br>
<br>
The position is open for immediate recruitment but no later than October 2013.<br>
<br>
This position is supported by Europe's Marie Curie Program and will<br>
participate in a portfolio of related research projects from multiple<br>
disciplinary backgrounds on the phenomenon of Crisis Management<br>
Networks. Crisis Management Networks emerge and are reconfigured<br>
rapidly after a disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, a Tsunami, or a<br>
terror attack.<br>
With the<br>
rapidly growing number and increasing cost of worldwide disasters this<br>
phenomenon is theoretically interesting and a benign object of study because<br>
of the scale, the impact and the dynamics of crises.<br>
<br>
What do we expect?<br>
<br>
We are looking for excellent and highly motivated junior researchers<br>
from around the world, who are interested in developing an academic or<br>
professional research career in the domain of NITIM, notably related<br>

should have a background in one or more of the following fields:<br>
information systems, innovation management, technology management,<br>
information management, business administration, entrepreneurship,<br>

experience in fields directly related to the specific position is a<br>
plus. Excellent research skills and analytical abilities, proficiency<br>
in English (both spoken and written), and proactive communication<br>
behaviour are required.<br>
<br>
Successful candidates will join a cross-cultural and<br>
