The Finnish Fire Protection Fund<\/a> funds the start of the professorship and thus the areas of emphasis are defined as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n Perspectives of administrative science and security governance: leadership, risk management, governance of organizations and networks, policy processes, preparedness planning, and knowledge-based management.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Services and steering instruments of rescue services: management of rescue operations, and management under emergency conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The interface of fire safety and planning: principles and guidance for fire safety design, as well as the interaction between administrative steering instruments and technical design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The research profile of the recruited candidate aligns with administrative sciences and may address crisis management, preparedness, and the frameworks of comprehensive security in multi-agency security environments. Core administrative science themes include public sector leadership and planning, governance, decision-making, inter-agency collaboration, safety and security networks, evaluation research, and data-driven management. The candidate is expected to have demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the Finnish rescue services and crisis management systems and their operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Building on these foundations, the research may focus on the use of data and artificial intelligence in rescue services, impact assessment, risk profiling, targeting of accident prevention, and the development of operational leadership, performance metrics, and resource optimization.
