About this position

Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, Finland is recruiting one doctoral researcher for the MSCA Doctoral Network EMANAIRE (DC10): AI-Mediated Communication and Collaboration Norms at Work.

The project sits in Management sciences and explores how AI agents and AI-mediated messages reshape workplace relationships, collaboration, authenticity, trust, social connection, and experiences of loneliness. The research uses ethnographic and other qualitative methods to study how employees negotiate disclosure, transparency, and appropriate interaction norms in AI-intensive settings.

This is a four-year, full-time doctoral scholarship (48 months) funded through Horizon Europe / MSCA. The current scholarship is EUR 3,755 per month, with Finnish university benefits including employee healthcare, pension, and holiday bonus. The selected candidate will also take part in network-wide training, residential schools, seminars, mobility, and collaboration with an industrial partner.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold or be close to completing a relevant master’s degree or equivalent, meet Hanken’s PhD admission requirements, and satisfy MSCA mobility rules. Strong qualitative research skills, interest in the human side of AI-mediated work, and excellent academic English are emphasized.

Application materials include a CV, transcripts/degree certificates, references, a 2,000-word research proposal, language certificate, passport copy, academic text, GPA/GRE-related evidence, and a statement of purpose. Apply through Hanken’s recruitment system by 29 October 2026 at 23:59 EET.
