We work within the research areas of Information Systems (IS),
Participatory Design (PD), Design Science Research (DSR), and/or Computer
Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).

We are looking for an applicant with a strong research profile related to
one and preferably more of the following themes:

   - *Projects* – how organizations can improve management of IT projects
   from a need to organisational change.

   - *People* – workplace studies to investigate collaborative and
   communicative practices in complex organizational settings.

   - *Participation* – specification and evaluation of effects of IT usage
   and how effects can play a prominent role in IT management and governance.

   - *Process* – how organizations can improve their digital design and
   development processes.

   - *Praxis* – solving real-world problems in practice through design,
   construction, evaluation, and reflection on artefacts.

We expect an applicant that apply action research, design science research
or other types of qualitative research concerning these themes. The ideal
applicant has documented experience in attracting and managing external
