Experience as a researcher is welcome but not mandatory.
Circular economy implies a systemic societal shift and (especially for companies) the need for guidance on how to move along with the circular economy transition while making optimal use of their own capabilities. Although rising in importance, this topic has up to present not been adequately treated. In this research, you will work on the adoption journeys of companies in the circular economy, by analysing, assessing and monitoring business capabilities. You will develop and apply qualitative research methodologies like focus group research, interviews and action research in case studies undertaken within companies, complemented with AI-based research on published data, papers, company announcements, etc. Research outcomes will be directed towards companies and be shaped in direct collaborations, e.g. by developing a dashboard, and towards policy makers in order to feed them with knowledge about how to make the CE transition happen at the production side of the Flemish economy, e.g. in the context of the strategic agendas of Circular Flanders.
The research position is shared between UGhent and KU Leuven and will take place under respective supervision of Prof. Amy Van Looy and Prof. Karel Van Acker, with the aim of conducting PhD research. The research is furthermore embedded within CE Center (Steunpunt Circulaire Economie), directly funded by the Flemish Government. CE Center performs policy research in order to monitor, stimulate and contextualise the progress of the Flemish region towards a circular economy. It consists of five interdisciplinary and complementary research clusters and is a joint venture of KU Leuven, UAntwerpen, UGhent, UHasselt and VITO.We offer a research position for one year in a very attractive multidisciplinary international research environment with an excellent track record, with possible extension with three years. The research is expected to lead to a joint PhD degree at KU Leuven and UGent. The research work will be carried out in the Faculty of Economics & Business of KU Leuven and in the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration in UGhent. The job will include collaboration and information exchange with researchers from different disciplines, industry and policy makers. The application deadline is 16 December 2024, but earlier applications are encouraged and will be considered as soon as they are received. The position can be closed earlier in case a suitable candidate has been found.
