For further information, please contact: • CREDS Professor Johan Kask, +47 62 43 01 82, johan.kask@inn.no  • CREDS Director and Professor Bård Tronvoll, +47 90 78 55 68, bard.tronvoll@inn.no  • Head of INSEPP PhD Program Marit Engen, +47 61 28 81 07, marit.engen@inn.no  About the project​ Project overview​ The PhD research fellow will join an international team of researchers at CREDS, Inland School of Business and Social Sciences. We seek a highly motivated candidate to research circular battery strategies and future applications from a business and innovation perspective. CREDS’s overarching academic objective is accelerating research on the transitions enabling sustainable businesses and societies. The primary focus is to understand transitions at the level of ecosystems and markets and at the intersection between digitization and sustainability, for instance linked to new or changed business models, value chains and practices. The candidate’s PhD project should address how scarce resources in circular value chains related to energy and mobility are organized and governed across competing end-of-life pathways. Relevant topics include sustainable value creation, reuse and repair strategies, recycling systems, and business models that extend the useful life of batteries and battery materials. The project may examine how such arrangements work in practice, how they develop over time, and how different pathways can be assessed in relation to sustainability, loop extension, efficiency, resilience, and other relevant criteria. It may also focus on market formation, ecosystem dynamics, governance arrangements, power relations, and the role of technology in handling resource tensions across systems, as well as on how firms and other actors develop circular strategies under competing demands, regulatory change, and uncertainty about future resource use. One particularly relevant empirical example is end-of-life EV batteries, where tensions may arise between reusing or repurposing batteries for second-life energy storage and recycling materials back into battery production or other industrial uses. Norway provides a promising context for studying such issues due to its early and extensive adoption of battery-electric vehicles. 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, optimization models, system dynamics modelling, and agent-based modelling. 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. Qualifications​ • The candidate must have a master’s degree and thesis on a relevant topic. Relevant academic backgrounds may include business and management, innovation studies, energy systems, industrial ecology, system dynamics, systems modelling, sustainability transitions, science and technology studies, topic-related forms of engineering, and other related interdisciplinary fields. • The master's degree must normally constitute 120 ECTS credits.

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.
