In a globalised economic and business context, the norms that shape human resource management travel internationally. This is particularly the case within the multinational company, where individuals are responsible for the creation, diffusion, interpretation and negotiation of norms - which may be rules, principles or guidelines - across international operations. We refer to such individuals as "globalizing actors". The aim of our research is to identify the resources mobilized by globalizing actors in the creation, diffusion, interpretation and negotiation of norms concerning the global coordination of human resources. The post, which is funded by a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council, will give the successful candidate the opportunity to join a team of researchers led by Professor Tony Edwards, Director of the Institute for International Management without Loughborough University London

(S)he will have opportunities for international travel, and for working with our project partners overseas. We would particularly welcome applications from candidates who are interested in using the position as a springboard to doing a PhD on this topic.
