Research Fellow, Sustainability Measurement, Management, and Reporting
The Job's mission
The researcher will be conducting research for the newly established Action Forum for Holistic Assessment and Management of Sustainability (AFHAMS).
AFHAMS aims to advance business practice, politics, regulation, and education by building research-practice communities, conducting impactful research, and developing training materials and activities on the holistic assessment, management, and reporting of sustainability.
As 2024 is the first year where sustainability reporting is mandatory in many countries, AFHAMS seeks to empower individuals, businesses, and policymakers with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions in the space of sustainability impact assessment and management that contribute to a more sustainable, resilient, and mentally healthy future in the respect of planetary boundaries.
The focus of the researcher's position is to contribute to the Action Forum's thought leadership in the areas of sustainability measurement, management, and reporting, as well as related fields.
One of the key focus areas of AFHAMS is conducting Interdisciplinary Research, for instance with researchers from the Enterprise for Society Center (E4S).
Hence, the main tasks of the position include:
- Design and encourage interdisciplinary research projects to address complex sustainability challenges related to sustainability impact assessment, management, and reporting. This includes outreach activities to different stakeholders in
- Conduct research targeting both hightier academic (e.g., FT50) and practitioner outlets as a basis for debate and to engage diverse stakeholders involved in, and affected by, holistic sustainability measurement, management, and reporting.
- Disseminate research results through the use of social media and other forms of communication to target a broad audience. This can include organizing events such as roundtables, and developing and organizing innovative knowledge dissemination formats.
- Translate the conducted research into teaching materials for top executives and MBAlevel audiences.
A strong collaboration with other researchers who are at the heart of the Action Forum has been established and working with the partners of the Action Forum can be part of the research work.
In particular, Christina Hertel, Assistant Professor, Director Geneva Responsible Entrepreneurship Center, University of Geneva and Gaia Melloni, Assistant Professor in Accounting, HEC Lausanne - University of Lausanne will be part of the Action Forum.
The Research Fellow will help developing and conducting novel and relevant research for the coming years, with a focus on mixed method approaches that include interviews and (field) experimental approaches.
The aim of the Action Forum is to conduct meaningful research that is close to practice and generates an impact beyond mere top-tier publications.
Therefore, the research fellow needs to integrate this view into study design, creation of research methodologies, data collection, processing and analysis of data as well as the writing of academic- and practitioner-oriented articles, literature reviews, reports, and case studies. The research fellow should also ensure the successful completion of the publication process, and create materials to translate research results into publishable insights, materials for IMD programs, engagement platforms, and events.
Key deliverables
Based on a mixed-method approach that may include qualitative interviews, focus groups, secondary data analyses, and field experiments, the aim of the Research Fellow's work as part of the Action Forum is to generate and disseminate i
