About the position
Center for Research on Digitalization and Sustainability (CREDS), a part of University of Inland Norway (INN), invites candidates to apply for a three-year PhD research fellowship: Challenges of Scaling Practice-Based Initiatives across Governance Levels in the Public Sector. The position is connected to the field of innovation studies focusing on public sector services, with particular attention to how practice-based initiatives with demonstrated effects often fail to scale, stabilize, or become institutionally embedded across governance levels. Within this broad area, relevant topics may include perspectives on organizational and institutional theory, complex adaptive systems, and co-creation of value in service ecosystems.
The position is connected to the Department of Organization, Leadership and Management. Depending on the department’s needs, and the candidate’s competence and preferences, the position may be transformed into a four-year position with 25% teaching duties. The workplace is at CREDS research group, University of Inland Norway (INN) at Kongsvinger.
Admission to INN’s PhD program, Innovation in Services in the Public and Private Sectors (INSEPP), is a condition for employment as a research fellow. The candidate is expected to participate actively in INSEPP’s activities. After commencement, the candidate must apply for admission to the PhD programme within three months. An agreement for admission to the PhD programme must be in place within six months after commencement.

About the project
The PhD research fellow will join an international team of researchers at CREDS, Inland School of Business and Social Sciences. The project addresses a persistent and underexplored challenge in public sector innovation: why practice-based innovations that demonstrate strong local effects often fail to scale, stabilize, or become institutionally embedded across governance levels.
The project focuses empirically on practice-based qualification pathways (e.g., within health care) targeting individuals at risk of social exclusion. The project will follow innovation initiatives in public sector that test practice-based pilot initiatives to address complex societal challenges. While such initiatives often demonstrate clear positive outcomes, they frequently encounter significant barriers when attempts are made to articulate, legitimize, and scale them within broader institutional and governance structures. As such, the project will investigate how structural tensions arise from differing rationalities, how complexity arise across levels of governance, the role of meaning-making processes, and experience of paradox situations.
Candidates are encouraged to define their own research design within this theme. This includes developing the specific research questions, theoretical perspective, empirical focus, and methodological approach in dialogue with the supervisory team and the academic
environment at CREDS. A broad range of methodological approaches is relevant for the theme, including qualitative case studies, action research, system dynamics modelling, and more. Please note that the project may later be modified in accordance with the supervisors’
advice and the academic research agenda of CREDS. The successful candidate will have a primary supervisor among CREDS’ academic staff.

In this call, we are interested in hiring up to 3 candidates who will be employed at the Faculty of Science and Technology, UiT in Tromsø. The appointment is for a period of three to four years, depending on whether teaching duties will be assigned.
The nominal length of the PhD programme is three years. If a fourth year is assigned, it will be distributed as 25 % each year to teaching and other duties.
The objective of the position is to complete research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to the PhD programme is a prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position.
The workplace is at UiT in Tromsø. You must be able to start in the position within six months after receiving the offer.
The position’s field of research and other duties
Research at the Lie-Størmer Center (LSC) aims to explore uncharted territory at the interface of computational and pure mathematics, targeting foundational mathematical challenges relevant to the modern information society and geometric dynamical control in engineering. This project builds bridges between pure and computational mathematics, among
Mathematics departments in Tromsø, Bergen, and across Norway, and between high-level research and education within the ERCOM network of European mathematical research centers.
Computational mathematics is a cornerstone of modern science. Its methods are reshaping the foundations of pure mathematics, while abstract mathematical concepts generate fresh insights into algorithms and discretization techniques – critical for numerical computations and simulations. This convergence signifies a pivotal phase in the mathematical sciences, where the divide between pure and applied mathematics is narrowing. Advancing this integration demands collaboration across these fields, which the Lie-Størmer Center will champion.
The project is organized in multiple thematic areas and interaction between them. The candidate should specify 1 or 2 areas that they are interested in and qualified for. If a candidate has the ability to contribute to more than one work package, this is counted as a positive.
- Area1 - Lie Theory: Analysis and Geometry of Nonholonomic Systems
○ Areas of Research: Sub-Riemannian geometry and Cartan geometry, Vector Distributions and Supergeometry
○ Considered a plus: research/course focus on differential geometry. Knowledge of Lie theory, sub-Riemannian geometry or Cartan geometry, as well as proficiency in symbolic packages will count as a strong positive.
- Area2 – Polynomials, Ideals and Algebra
○ Areas of Research: Monomial and polynomial ideals, toric varieties, tropical varieties, relations to combinatorics.
○ Considered a plus: research/course focus on algebra or algebraic geometry.
- Area3 – Magnus Expansions and Signatures in Data Science and Engineering
○ Areas of Research: Signatures (in the sense of rough paths) applied to curves and surfaces, Magnus expansion, Hopf algebras, applications.
○ Considered a plus: research/course focus on stochastic analysis, algebra or rough paths. Knowledge of Lie theory or Hopf algebra will be considered as a benefit.
- Area4 - Algebra, Geometry and Topology for Complex Data Analysis
