About this position

Copenhagen Business School is recruiting a postdoc in work-life balance policy: citizens, policies and firms at the Department of International Economics, Government & Business. The post is embedded in a multidisciplinary environment that brings together research on international business and political science, with a strong orientation toward societal challenges and the relationship between business, government, and broader public policy.

The postdoc will join the AGILE work-life balance project, funded by the Velux Foundation and led by Caroline de la Porte. The project examines work-care-life balance from multiple angles, including citizen values and preferences, policies, and firm-level practices. It is comparative in scope, focusing on four countries and the EU level, and is designed to generate systematic knowledge about how work-life balance is experienced and shaped across different institutional contexts.

The role is research-intensive and methodologically oriented. The successful candidate will contribute to collecting interview data with citizens in different sectors and social partners, and to survey design. The advert highlights the usefulness of a sociological background, especially with attention to the intersection of leisure and care, as well as knowledge relevant to one of the case countries, Austria. The research will be conducted in English, while broader dissemination of results will also take place in Danish.

The position sits within a department that emphasizes advanced quantitative and qualitative methods and close links to teaching in international business and politics. The appointment is non-tenured and includes a significant teaching component, alongside active participation in the department’s research and teaching activities.
