Copenhagen Business School
Postdoc in Business and Government at Copenhagen Business School
Frederiksberg
October 28, 2024
EGB is a multidisciplinary department that conducts high-quality research in the fields of international business and political science with direct relevance to business, policy-makers and the public. Research at the department focuses on two principal focus areas Business & Government and International Business, in relation to societal challenges. These challenges include the consequences of inequality; the impact of technological change and digital transformation; the ethical dilemmas facing MNEs, regulatory challenges, the changes brought about by emerging markets and the rise of Asia; the consequences of global shifts for public policy, and the relationship between business and democracy. We have a large group of faculty committed to examining the role of money in politics and non-market strategy. Faculty apply advanced quantitative and qualitative methods to generate systematic knowledge about business-government relations and international business relations. To learn more about the research and education of the department, please visit the departmental homepagehere.
The project
The “Corporate Revolving Door” will study the drivers and consequences of the revolving door between public office and businesses around the world. The project consists of two work packages. WP1 examines why firms seek to hire revolvers by assembling data on movements of public officials into corporations across 28 European democracies and the US. To this end, we will work with multiple big datasets on the career paths of millions of individuals across countries and industries. In addition, we will design and run survey experiments with business leaders in 7 of those countries to causally examine why firms hire revolvers and how they use them. WP2 will zoom in on the consequences of the revolving door and examine the effect of revolvers on corporate non-market strategies and financial returns.
The postdoc will primarily work on projects related to WP1 and will work with big datasets on individual career trajectories. The postdoc will also support the designing and fielding the survey of businesspeople and, and, to a lesser extent, be involved in WP2 on analyzing the firm-level effects of revolving door hires. It is essential that applicants have strong research potential within the area of the project. It is also essential that applicants have excellent skills in quantitative methods, particularly working with large firm- and micro-level datasets, and with record linkage and fuzzy merging.
The postdoc will be a full part of a team conducting research within the project and co-author multiple academic articles. Strong abilities to work on research in a team and collaborate/co-author with other team members is essential for the position.

- Strong skills in quantitative methods (required)
- Working with large datasets, including cross-walking different databases using fuzzy matching of names (required)
