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.
