Om stillingen

Er du interessert i politisk økonomi, politisk makt, institusjoner og hvordan økonomiske interesser former samfunnsutviklingen nasjonalt, historisk eller internasjonalt? Da inviterer vi deg til å søke stillingen som doktorgradsstipendiat ved Institutt for industriell økonomi, strategi og statsvitenskap ved USN Handelshøyskolen.

Stillingen er en fireårig fulltidsstilling med oppstart fra 01.01.2027. Stillingen omfatter 75 prosent doktorgradsarbeid og 25 prosent annet karrierefremmende arbeid (undervisning, veiledning og administrative oppgaver). Arbeidssted er campus Drammen.

Om doktorgradsprosjektet

Den som ansettes, skal formulere et doktorgradsprosjekt innenfor politisk økonomi. Politisk økonomi undersøker samspillet mellom økonomiske prosesser, politiske institusjoner og samfunnsmessige maktforhold, herunder hvordan ressurser fordeles og politiske beslutninger formes av interesser, ideer og institusjoner.

Prosjektet må falle innenfor en Phd i Management, og én eller flere av tre retninger av politisk økonomi.

Moderne politisk økonomi, for eksempel studier av hvordan politiske institusjoner, partier, interessegrupper og økonomiske aktører former beslutninger om skatt, velferd, arbeidsliv, energi, klima eller ulikhet.

Historisk politisk økonomi, for eksempel studier av hvordan kriser, reformer, og klasseaktører, eller politiske institusjoner har formet økonomisk utvikling eller velferdspolitikk.

Internasjonal politisk økonomi, for eksempel studier av hvordan handel, finans, globale verdikjeder, internasjonale organisasjoner eller geopolitiske maktforhold påvirker nasjonale økonomier og politiske beslutninger.

Den som ansettes, vil få undervisning – og veiledningsoppgaver fortrinnsvis på bachelor i statsvitenskap og inngå i forskningsgruppen Politisk kultur. Stipendiaten vil også kunne delta i den internasjonale forskningsgruppen tilknyttet NFR-prosjektet «Partienes makt (PoPs): Opphavet til en nordisk velferdsstat», ledet av Magnus B. Rasmussen, samt i andre relevante prosjekter ved instituttet. Les mer om PoPs prosjektet her.

Wer sind wir? Der Kreis Mettmann Wir sind eine Kommunalverwaltung mit rund 1.700 Mitarbeitenden und verstehen uns als modernes Dienstleistungsunternehmen. Mit rund 490.000 Einwohner_innen und einer Fläche von 407 Quadratkilometern ist der Kreis Mettmann der Landkreis mit der höchsten Bevölkerungsdichte in Deutschland. Vielfältige Arbeitsplätze, Wohnen in einer guten Infrastruktur und ein ebenso umfang- wie abwechslungsreiches Freizeitangebot machen das Leben hier attraktiv.   Bereits seit 1997 ist der Kreis Mettmann Mitglied im Klima-Bündnis und im Bereich Klimaschutz, Klimaanpassung und Nachhaltigkeit seit Jahren in den verschiedensten Netzwerken und Projekten aktiv.  Bis zum Jahr 2030 - so das inzwischen verschärfte nationale Klimaschutzziel - sollen die Treibhausgasemissionen um mindestens 65 Prozent unter den Wert von 1990 sinken. Daran will auch der Kreis Mettmann mit seinem Ende 2018 erstellten Integrierten Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungskonzept (IKKK) aktiv mitwirken.    Das Aufgabenportfolio des Klimaschutzes der Kreisverwaltung Mettmann ist, über das IKKK hinaus, in den letzten Jahren weiter angewachsen, nicht zuletzt um die ka. Städte durch Bündelungs- und Synergieeffekten personell und finanziell zu entlasten und die interkommunale Zusammenarbeit zu stärken (z.B. kreisweite Thermografische Erfassung als Angebot für alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger, aber auch für die kommunale Wärmeplanung der ka. Städte). Die lokalen, regionalen und (inter-)nationalen Klimaziele führen zudem dazu, infrastrukturelle, leitungsgebundene Klimaschutzprojekte zu koordinieren und zu begleiten (bspw. CO2-Pipeline, Wasserstoffstrategie). Zudem besteht der politische Auftrag zur Transformation hin zu einer ,,Klimaneutralen Kreisverwaltung", welcher sich auf alle Bereiche der Kreisverwaltung direkt oder indirekt auswirkt, gleichzeitig jedoch auch ein breites Potential für ökonomischen Einspareffekten birgt.   Insgesamt bietet diese Stelle daher die außergewöhnliche Möglichkeit sowohl innovative Konzeptarbeit zu begleiten, als auch dazu passende Projekte direkt im Sinne des Klimaschutzes in die Realität umzusetzen. Vor diesem Hintergrund suchen wir für die Stabsstelle Klimaschutz zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt eine Fachliche Leitung "strategischer und operativer Klimaschutz" (m/w/d) Ihre Aufgabengebiete umfassen im Wesentlichen: Fachliche Leitung ,,strategischer und operativer Klimaschutz" Fachverantwortung: Fachliche Führung bei der Entwicklung, Beurteilung, Priorisierung und Organisation von Klimaschutzaktivitäten in Einklang mit den strategischen Interessen des Kreises und Vertretung dieser u.a. in der Führungskräfterunde, Budgetverantwortung: Überwachung und Planung des zur Verfügung stehenden Budgets und damit verbundene Vergabe-/ bzw. Beschaffungsprozessen, Erstellung von Entscheidungsgrundlagen, Berichten und Präsentationen für Amts- und Dezernatsleitungen sowie politische Gremien- Bidirektionaler Informationstransport zwischen Amtsleitung und den Mitarbeitenden, Ausräumung von Problemstellungen die der allgemeinen Aufgabenerledigung entgegenstehen (Prozessoptimierung), Steuerung, Optimierung und Fortschreibung des strategischen und operativen Transfor-mationsprozesses zur ,,Klimaneutralen Verwaltung" Auf Basis des Kreistagsbeschlusses zur ,,Klimaneutralen Verwaltung" in den Handlungsfeldern Gebäude, Mobilität, Beschaffungswesen, Kommunikation/IT und Veranstaltungswesen, gilt es den interdisziplinären und komplexen Prozess innerhalb der Kreisverwaltung zu evaluieren, optimieren und umzusetzen. Mittelfristig mögliche und notwendige Reduktionsziele sowie dazugehörigen Maßnahmen (z.B. Maximierung der Nutzung kreiseigener PV-Potentiale, energetische Sanierung sowie Heizungstausche in Bestandsgebäuden, Erstellung nachhaltiger Beschaffungsrichtlinien, Klimaneutrale Fahrzeugflotte, usw.) gilt es zu definieren und deren Umsetzung zu steuern. Hierzu ist zudem die (Weiter-)Entwicklung fachbereichsübergreifend geeignete Zielsysteme, Indikatoren sowie Monitoring- und Berichtsinstrumente, mit denen Fortschritte bei der Strategieumsetzung systematisch erfasst, bewertet und steuerungsrelevant aufbereitet werden, notwendig. Gleichzeitig gilt es mit der Umsetzung der notwendigen Klimaschutzmaßnahmen die damit verbundenen, hohen ökonomischen Einsparpotentiale zu heben und die Klimaschutzarbeit mit finanziellem Nutzen für die Kreisverwaltung zu verbinden. Notwendige Projekte, welche teilweise einer konzeptionellen Erstaufstellung bedürfen, sind u.a.: (Weiter-)Entwicklung und Leitung der Konzeption zur nachhaltigen Nutzung der Stromerzeugungspotentiale der Kreisverwaltung (u.a. durch Photovoltaikinstallationen auf Gebäuden- und Freiflächen der Kreisliegenschaften), auch mit Option der Partizipation von Bürgerenergiegenossenschaften Konzeptionelle Erarbeitung zur (ökonomisch sinnvollen) Beteiligung der Kreisverwaltung an regionalen Windkraftvorhaben Steuerung des Förderprojekts ,,Implementierung eines Energiemanagements in der Kreisverwaltung" und ggf. Akquise und Management von weiteren Fördermitteln auf Landes-, Bundes- und EU-Ebene Controlling, Kommunikation, ÖA, Berichtswesen Erarbeitung, Steuerung und Begleitung leitungsgebundener (über-)regionaler Klimaschutz-Infrastrukturprojekte im Kreisgebiet Die lokale Klimaschutzarbeit im Kreisgebiet hat mit diversen Infrastrukturprojekten große Relevanz für die Erreichung (inter-)nationaler Klimaschutzziele. Hierzu gehören zahlreiche Projekte, die alle ka. Städte in höchstem Maße tangieren und langfristig binden werden:  Erarbeitung, Beauftragung und Umsetzung einer Strategie zur Wasserstoffnutzung im Kreis Mettmann sowie Leitung und Koordinierung aller Wasserstoffprojekte und               -netzwerke der Kreisverwaltung Auf Basis des Kreistagsbeschlusses vom 09.10.2025 zur ,,Strategische Positionierung des Kreises Mettmann im nationalen Wasserstoff-Kernnetz und Entwicklung einer regio-nalen Wasserstoffstrategie" ist der Prozess hin zu einer regionalen Wasserstoffstrategie zu entwickeln und zu steuern, inkl.

Städte Unterstützung bei der Planung und Umsetzung von Pilotprojekten im Kreisgebiet Beratung und koordinierende Begleitung des Prozesses zur Erstellung der CO2-Infrastruktur (CC(U)S) im Kreisgebiet Konzeptionelle Ausarbeitung ökonomischer Bündelungseffekte im Bereich Verteil- und Übertragungsnetze/-leitungen Beratung und koordinierende Begleitung der (inter-)kommunalen Prozesse zur kommunalen Wärmeplanung, insbesondere i.S. Wärmenetze Die aus Netzwerken, Fachgremien, Monitoring- und Evaluationsprozessen gewonnenen Informationen werden sach- und fachgerecht für Verwaltungsspitze, politische Gremien, Organisationseinheiten und weitere relevante Adressat_innen aufbereitet. Komplexe Sachverhalte werden bewertet sowie Handlungsoptionen abgeleitet. Umsetzung und Fortschreibung des Klimaschutz- (und Klimaanpassungs-) Konzepts der Kreisverwaltung Das ursprünglich 2018 vom Kreistag entwickelte Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungskonzept des Kreises Mettmann wurde sukzessive umgesetzt und deutlich in seinem ursprünglichen Handlungsrahmen und Maßnahmenumfang ausgeweitet. Die Maßnahmen (abgeschlossenen, in Umsetzung befindlichen und offenen) müssen umgesetzt werden, während das Aufgabenportfolio in Bezug auf Ausweitung einzelner Maßnahmen bis hin zu zusätzlichen, strategischen Handlungsfeldern mit großen THG-Einsparungspotentialen, wie z.B. das Handlungsfeld ,,Kreislaufwirtschaft" evaluiert und fortgeschrieben werden muss. Es gilt zu prüfen, inwieweit eine Aufteilung zwischen internen (Kreisverwaltung) und externen Maß-ahmen (u.a. ka. Städte) in zukünftigen Konzeptionen sinnvoll umsetzbar ist (vgl. Prozess zur ,,Kli-aneutralen Verwaltung"; inkl. Differenzierung zwischen Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen) Diese Voraussetzungen müssen Sie (zum Zeitpunkt der Bewerbung) zwingend mitbringen: Abgeschlossenes wissenschaftliches Hochschulstudium (Master/ Diplom) in den Bereichen Corporate Sustainability Management, (Angewandte) Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement oder Regionalentwicklung, Wir erwarten zudem: Fachliche Kompetenz, insbesondere Erfahrungen im Bereich Projektmanagement / Projektsteuerung und der dazugehörigen Organisationstechniken, Sehr gute Kenntnisse über Bewertungs- und Steuerungsinstrumente (z.
