We are encouraging applications of candidates with proven research experience in the field of industrial dynamics, knowledge dynamics and financial dynamics; and specialization in relevant empirical, econometric and/or modelling tools.

Applicants are expected to contribute to a research project entitled “Knowledge Intensive Sectors: Models and Evidence” (funded by Agence Nationale de la Recherche and coordinated by Jackie Krafft), that analyses the specificities of the evolution of knowledge intensive sectors. The project explores the following dimensions that generate a possibly different profile of evolution to such sectors, compared to more traditional ones:

• 1) The role played by knowledge dynamics in KISs
• 2) The role played by innovation networks within KISs
• 3) The role of corporate governance in KISs

Applicants should be familiar with database treatment and exploitation, especially patent databases, innovation networks databases, and corporate governance databases.

The fellowship is granted for 3 years, starting from January 2007. We offer prime research facilities and a salary between 2 400 and 2 700 euros per month, free of income tax depending on experience and knowledge.

If you are interested in the project, and want to join our internationally oriented team, please send no later than December 1st, a letter of interest, CV, publication list and, where applicable, a sample of unpublished scholarly work to:

• Dr. Jackie Krafft, CNRS-GREDEG, 250 rue Albert Einstein, 06560 Valbonne, France
• E-mail
