Houlden Fellow (Research Fellow) (106941-0525)

We are particularly interested in empirically oriented applicants who focus on organizational problems of contemporary relevance adopting a process perspective and who propose ambitious research plans in subjects aligned with the wide portfolio of activity of the Operations Management (OM) faculty.

At WBS, the OM group has a distinguished history of excellence in research, teaching, and real-world impact. As the birthplace of modern OM in Europe during the 1980s and 1990s, the group pioneered developments in areas such as quality management and service operations. Today, it continues to lead the field with award-winning work in supply chain management, process improvement, environmental and social issues in operations, performance measurement and management, innovation and technology management, and project management.

While grounded in the field of OM, the group members’ work is often the result of collaborations with colleagues in other areas of management research, such as innovation, organisation theory, marketing, and international business, and it has led to publications in high quality journals including the Journal of Operations Management, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and Research Policy.

If successful, you will join a growing group of scholars, who enjoy working together in a developmental environment. We are proud of a group culture based on an inclusive, supportive and positive approach, and one that values feedback, teamwork, transparency, and discussion. Our goal is to provide an excellent environment for talented and enthusiastic researchers to achieve career and personal goals.
