    Postdoctoral Position in Strategy, Organization and Technology (m/f/d)

    (full-time 100%, standard German pay scale, TV-L E13)

The successful candidate will also take an active role in collaborating with the faculty and PhD students and stimulate the development of the department.

     

    Your Profile

    You have completed (or are about to complete) a doctoral degree in strategy, applied economics or a relevant field, have demonstrated outstanding research potential through excellent dissertation research, and enjoy working in diverse and interdisciplinary teams. Ideally, you are working on or are interested in strategic and organizational issues in digital markets, especially platforms and their ecosystems. Your work will draw on quantitative firm- or individual-level data, and some prior exposure to economic models is an advantage.
