Scholarship Description: The position will be affiliated with a new research project called “Synergies and tensions in innovation in the life sciences” (STILS). The project is a Scandinavian comparative study funded by the FORFI programme at the Research Council of Norway. The aim of the project is to understand and improve the basis for policy making directed at innovation in the life sciences, looking in particular at the interplay between universities, firms, hospitals and intermediary organisations within cancer and neuroscience. The main empirical focus of the candidate’s work will be interviews within such organisations in Oslo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen, possibly complemented by other methods e.g. studies of patents and publications. The project has partners from the University of Gothenburg and Copenhagen Business School, but the post-doctoral fellow will be the only full-time worker in the project. Professor Magnus Gulbrandsen, TIK will lead the project, which aims both to produce scientific publications and useful policy advice.
