Provide Description

The Position

Functions are invited for a Postdoctoral Analysis Affiliate to assist a analysis undertaking exploring academic-industry engagement, science commercialisation, and the event of university-centred entrepreneurial ecosystems. Universities have turn out to be more and more targeted on commercialising their data, partaking with industrial companions akin to small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and diversifying earnings streams. On the similar time, useful resource constrained SMEs have realised the alternatives afforded to them in mobilising sources and scaling their ventures by partaking with universities. It’s these entrepreneurial/industrial actions on the university-industry (U-I) boundary that assist the emergence and improvement of university-centred entrepreneurial ecosystems (UCEEs). Nonetheless, while lecturers are inspired to behave entrepreneurially, this poses a number of challenges. Likewise, regardless of {industry} companions having a lot to achieve from partaking with college lecturers, they too face challenges in doing so. Sadly, regardless of a broad and rising literature within the educational entrepreneurship discipline, our understanding of the processes, significantly on the micro-level, underlying U-I engagement, science commercialisation, and UCEEs stays restricted. Accordingly, this analysis undertaking will examine U-I engagement actions and science commercialisation on the U-I boundary, and the way these actions contribute to UCEE dynamics.

The profitable applicant will work alongside the undertaking Principal Investigator (PI), Affiliate Professor David Johnson. The broader undertaking group consists of Co-PIs – Affiliate Professor Jeffrey Hughes, Professor Andrew Parker, and Professor Karena Yan) – and an industrial associate. The position is funded by Durham College Enterprise College’s Good & Scale initiative, which is an interdisciplinary impact-driven analysis programme in good and scale-up actions, specializing in innovation and enterprise improvement of SMEs within the North-East of England.
