efforts by policy makers to develop appropriate governance models for
implementing regional and sectoral innovation strategies in relation
with these industries.

out active research; excellent English skills; demonstrated ability to
publish in peerreviewed journals; experience and interest in regional
and sectoral innovation systems issues.

The post-doctoral research fellowship is for a period of 12 months
beginning approximately in January 2008 or soon after (an extension by
up to one additional year is possible). Please submit your application,
