About this position

Two EMANAIRE doctoral positions are open at the University of Ljubljana, School of Economics and Business, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The full-time doctoral researchers will join the EMANAIRE Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network and participate in its international training, research and secondment programme.

Project 1: Leadership and Work Design for Meaningfulness in the Age of AI. This PhD project examines how artificial intelligence changes tasks, meaning, dignity and professional identity. The research will investigate leadership and work-design practices that help employees maintain agency, purpose and belonging as roles and responsibilities evolve. It will use longitudinal research to study feedback, coordination, job crafting and team routines, with opportunities to develop practical interventions. Supervision will be provided by Matej Černe and Petra Kipfelsberger of BI Norwegian Business School.

Project 2: Human Agency in Distributed, Fragmented, and AI-Mediated Workflows. This project explores work distributed across people, teams, AI copilots and autonomous agents, including across systems, locations and time zones. It will examine implications for professional judgment, team cohesion and accountability, particularly among junior and middle-level employees. The research aims to develop practical principles for task allocation and role design that preserve context, authority and responsible human action. Supervision will be provided by Amadeja L. and Christian Fieseler of BI Norwegian Business School.

Applicants interested in AI and work, meaningful work, leadership, organizational behaviour, human agency, work design, professional identity and the future of work are encouraged to review the project-specific application information. The deadline is 10 December 2026 for the AI-mediated workflows position and 11 December 2026 for the meaningful-work position. Funding details beyond full-time employment within the doctoral network are not specified in the post.

Funding details

Both doctoral researchers will be based in Ljubljana and employed full-time as part of the EMANAIRE Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network. The post indicates participation in EMANAIRE's international training, research and secondment programme, but does not provide a salary or detailed benefits.

Prospective doctoral researchers should have a background appropriate for doctoral study in management, organizational behaviour, work design, leadership, human resources, psychology, business, or a closely related field, with strong interest in AI and the future of work. The post does not specify particular degree, GPA, language-test, or technical requirements; applicants should consult the individual project and application pages for full eligibility criteria.
