The position is intended to build capacity in advancing new methods, theories, and practical solutions to workplace stress and well-being in research as well as teaching at CBS. Furthermore, the assistant professor is expected to lead an ongoing strategic initiative at CBS on student well-being. 50% of the position will include teaching responsibilities in among other things stress related issues in the workplace. The candidate is expected to take a business humanities perspective on workplace stress and well-being as a leadership challenge in contemporary organizations, including exploring links between the humanities and social sciences to advance this area of research and practice.
For more information about the position, please contact Associate Professor Christian Garmann Johnsen (cgj.bhl@cbs.dk).
Research Environment
The Department of Business Humanities and Law is dedicated to an integrated approach to the contemporary challenges facing business and society drawing on the humanities, interdisciplinary social sciences, and law. It emphasizes problem-oriented research to understand those challenges and to build the lifelong capabilities necessary to address them. Faculty within BHL have diverse research backgrounds and research foci including but not limited to leadership, entrepreneurship, ethics, strategy, law, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy, history, anthropology, diversity, equity and inclusion, culture, and leisure management. What unites faculty is an overriding concern for the organization of the human within its multiple environments and, by implication, a research interest in the interdisciplinary “conversation” between humanities and social sciences.
Within BHL, the position will be located in the Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership Unit, an interdisciplinary research environment connecting leadership to business ethics and entrepreneurship. The candidate will also be invited to join the research group Leadership and Contemporary Challenges, which explores leadership in relation to the major challenges that organizations and society face in the twenty-first century, including the role of stress and well-being in a changing organizational environment. The group asks how these grand challenges influence the practice and construction of contemporary leadership. By adopting a relational and processual understanding of leadership, it examines how societal challenges put different demands on leadership, and how these challenges demand us to reconsider inherited understandings of the relation between leadership and action, including how to approach issues pertaining to work-life stress and well-being.
Across CBS, the Department of Business Humanities and Law participates in numerous interdisciplinary activities, including the CBS Leadership Centre. Combining business economics with a deep understanding of societal challenges, the CBS Leadership Centre equips present and future leaders to set direction and create responsible results. It provides a meeting place for leaders and leadership development in Denmark and beyond and fosters inspiring interaction between researchers and leadership practitioners in organizations of all kinds. Given the interdisciplinary outlook of the Department of Business Humanities and Law and the department’s engagement with other research environments, the candidate should demonstrate a capacity to bridge across disciplines and research groups.
