**The Role and Department**

Our vision is to lead business thought and practice to improve global wealth and well-being. Our associated mission is to create, share and use knowledge to deliver equitable and sustainable futures around the world. We pursue this mission by advancing world-changing knowledge and securing global impact through increasingly collaborative research across disciplines and around the world.

**The Role**

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support the “Social Venturing in the Social Sciences” initiative. Business venturing is often promoted as a desirable mechanism for transferring knowledge from research-intensive universities to the private sector for commercialisation. Yet, universities face difficulties in fostering business venturing and creating spin-offs, particularly from social science research. This project seeks to address this issue. It will pilot-test a research intervention to scale up the impact of social science research through commercialisation. The framework is grounded in Prospective Inquiry and Social Venturing, leveraging the power of social science knowledge and the motivation behind social enterprising.

The successful applicant will work alongside the project PI, Prof Pablo Muñoz, to execute the pilot and move it towards a sustainable university initiative in the social sciences. The pilot will last 36 months and involve 10 research projects in total, two in year one and three in years 2 and 3. Each research project team will go through a 12-month research venturing process. You will work Prof Muñoz and the wider team, as well as academics across the university and local SMEs to implement this methodology and facilitate the intervention.

The role is funded by Durham University Business School’s Smart & Scale initiative which is an interdisciplinary impact-driven research programme in smart and scale-up activities, focusing on innovation and business development of SMEs in the North-East of England.
- Responsibilities:

- To work with the Principal Investigator and other colleagues in the research project, as appropriate, to implement the methodology and intervention, develop new research and extend the research portfolio.
- To assist with the development of research objectives and proposals.
- To conduct individual and collaborative research projects under the direction of the Principal Investigator
- To facilitate publishing high quality outputs, including papers for submission to peer reviewed journals and papers for presentation at conferences and workshops under the direction of the Principal Investigator or Grant-holder.
- To deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines by discussing with the Principal Investigator and other colleagues in the research project and offering creative or innovative solutions.
- To prepare and deliver presentations on research outputs/activities to audiences which may include research sponsors, academic and non-academic audiences.
- To liaise with research colleagues and make internal and external contacts to develop knowledge and understanding to form relationships for future research collaboration.
- To plan and manage own research activity, research resources in collaboration with ot
