Job Description

Inspired by SPJIMRs mission of value-based growth, Centre for Wisdom in Leadership (CWIL) looks to enhance conventional leadership development approaches currently employed by corporate learning and development professionals, with wisdom traditions drawn from the East and West. The Centre is part of an emerging global network of leadership and wisdom centres, scholars, and practitioners.

Centre for Wisdom in Leadership (CWIL) at SPJIMR is seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Researcher to contribute to ongoing and new research initiatives in the domain of Wisdom.

This research initiative led by Igor Grossmann, from the University of Waterloo, Canada, titled 'Wisdom Across Cultures Beyond Traditional Decision-Making Paradigms,' seeks to explore and redefine the landscape of decision-making by integrating cultural diversity into models traditionally dominated by Western norms. This project is a multidisciplinary international collaboration involving 30 scholars from 12 countries, with SPJIMR overseeing its execution in India. It will span over 3 years and the research employs a range of methodologies, including surveys, natural language processing (NLP), psychometric studies, computational modelling, and culturally-grounded experiments, to investigate how different cultures and religious backgrounds approach complex, often ill-defined situations which current decision-making models fail to address adequately.
