We are looking for an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor in Risk Management. This position is located in the Insurance Science discipline within the Business Studies Unit of the Faculty of Management and Business.
We see risk management as a broad, interdisciplinary and strategically significant organizational practice, not merely a compliance or control function. In conditions of deep uncertainty, firms must continuously renew their competitive advantage, making risk management a core strategic capability. Business growth and value creation are increasingly unfolding in networks and ecosystems, demanding new competencies in collaborative risk governance and risk-sharing models. The professorship approaches risk management in this expansive sense - as a central enabler of firm-level value creation and growth - and is embedded within the Insurance and Risk Management study track. We value broad competence in risk management rather than a narrowly defined specialization. The selected candidate is expected to develop a research and teaching profile that connects strategic risk management theory with contemporary business challenges, including digitalisation, AI-driven decision-making and climate change adaptation. The research and teaching activities of the selected candidate should address relevant aspects of this focal area.
Relevant domains include (but are not limited to):
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Strategic Risk Management (SRM) - including risk identification, assessment and governance across organisational levels, and risk management as part of corporate planning, va
