London Business School is inviting applications for a fully funded postdoctoral research position starting in the 2026-2027 academic year.
The postdoctoral fellow will conduct research in Organisational Behaviour, working in two areas:
Leadership in the context of Private Equity: to explore leadership effectiveness in private equity, including which personality profiles and experiences are associated with high-performing leaders in the sector, and whether the capabilities required differ between CEO roles and other board-level roles, including the governance of AI.
Leadership in the context of Family Office: to explore leadership and organisational culture within family offices, including the types of people and cultures best suited to family office environments; and insights drawn from interviews with family offices to capture the diverse perspectives of both family members and professionals working in the sector.
The postdoctoral fellow will work with and mentored by Professor Randall Peterson as their primary supervisor, but will also be free to work with any LBS faculty across the 26/27 and 27/28 academic years.
