The Nijmegen School of Management  enables students, institutions and companies, societal actors and governments to play their part in a transformation towards sustainable societies. In doing so, the faculty is committed to Radboud University's mission of  contributing to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all.
In the context of our 'Responsible governance for sustainable societies' mission, we address scientific and societal challenges from a good governance perspective. Our work focuses on the topics Beyond Economy, Climate, Inclusivity, Safety, and Democracy. By building, questioning and extending the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), we acknowledge their interrelatedness and focus on a number of grand challenges within society. We contribute to innovation and sustainable growth on topics such as inequality, gender, decent work and poverty. Furthermore, we address environmental and climate challenges, seeking to contribute towards resolving them.

At the Nijmegen School of Management, academic research and teaching are carried out in challenging educational programmes. These programmes are offered in the areas of Business Administration; Economics and Business Economics; Geography, Planning and Environment; Political Science; and Public Administration. Academic research takes place within the Institute for Management Research (IMR). Research is carried out within the above-mentioned domains and in interdisciplinary research groups: the Hotspots. The Nijmegen School of Management currently has 400 staff and around 5,000 students.

The Department of Business Administration  is responsible for the BSc programmes in Business Administration (including a full track offered in English, and a track in International Business Administration) as well as eight specialisations within the MSc programme in Business Administration (all in English).
This position will be embedded in the Chair Group of Organisational Design and Development . The Chair Group of Organisational Design and Development consists of 15 staff members, including two full professors, and ten PhD candidates. The focus of these two professors is on (1) Organisational Change and (2) Organisational Design and New Organisational Forms. This new position is especially meant to strengthen the emphasis on Organisation Design in the chair group. Research in the chair group is mainly conducted in (though not restricted to) healthcare organisations, municipalities and industry. One recent area of attention of this group is the gap between organisation, team and job design. In line with the Responsible Organisation research programme, the group seeks to understand how organisational design can contribute to better jobs, better organisational performance and better outcomes for patients, clients, etc.
