Offer Description
The postdoctoral researcher will develop research on funding, governing, and organizing for inclusive smart cities.
Smart city projects have emerged as a response to urban crisis conditions with the aim of leveraging digital technologies for innovation and sustainable development. However, these projects often require substantial public and private sector expenditure, question traditional governance models and involve complex (inter)organizational challenges not all of which have received sufficient attention in existing smart city research (Mora et al., 2023). Moreover, it has become increasingly apparent that depending on how they are funded, governed, and organized, they variably affect the exclusion and inclusion of various groups and individuals in the city.
The aim of this postdoctoral research is to contribute to literature on these topics with a specific angle, using concepts, frameworks, and theories such as Stakeholder Theory, Cross-Sectoral Partnerships, Institutional Logics, Actor Network Theories, Capital Accumulation and Spatial Fix.
The researcher will develop a clear research agenda for the duration of the postdoctoral mission (including precise research questions, expected scientific contributions and theoretical underpinnings of the research). The research will rely on existing data (already available/collected) and on new data collection (case studies). A clear publication agenda will be developed (including A*, A, min B journals[1] ) at the beginning of the mission.
While the research will be jointly developed, from an administrative perspective, the researcher will spend the first year at HEC Liege (Belgium) and the second year at Rotterdam School of Management (the Netherlands).
At HEC Liege, the researcher will be working in collaboration with Professor Nathalie Crutzen and will be affiliated at the HEC Liege Smart City Institute .
At RSM, he/she will be working with Professor Martin de Jong and affiliated with the Erasmus Initiative Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity.
The latest publications of their respective research teams include articles in international scientific journals such as Ecological Economics; Public Management Review; Pubic Administration; Journal of Urban Technology; IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management; Technological Forecasting and Social Change; Journal of Cleaner Production; Cities; Administration and Society; The Annals of Regional Science; Government Information Quarterly; International Review of Administrative Science and Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal.
