Postdoc on Digital Market Regulation

vor 20 Stunden


Zürich, Schweiz NZZone Vollzeit

The groups of Prof. Stefan Bechtold at the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich and Prof. Christian Peukert at the Digital Markets Lab at HEC Lausanne conduct a multi-year project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation on the regulation of digital markets. For this project, we are soliciting applications for a postdoc.

Project background

In this empirical project, we combine the perspectives of management, economics, law, and computer science to study how regulatory frameworks in digital markets are enforced and how firms respond to such regulation. We are interested in policy questions of data, privacy, competition, intellectual property, content moderation, AI governance and related fields. We develop new tools for measuring regulatory effectiveness in the digital economy, focusing on key issues such as how platforms collect and use personal data, how firms lobby for favorable regulations, and what effect privacy laws in different regions have. We also analyze the influence of regulations on online competition and content diversity, studying how antitrust laws and copyright enforcement shape market dynamics.

Job description

As a postdoc in this project, you will conduct empirical research in the areas mentioned above, both as a lead author and collaborator. You will be able to pursue your research agenda in a very research-focused environment at leading research universities, with limited teaching or organizational obligations. We offer a truly interdisciplinary environment at the intersection of economics, law, management science, computer science, and law. We provide close supervision, guidance, time and resources for you to develop as a new scholar in the field.

Profile
  • You have a PhD in economics, computer science, management science, law or a related field.
  • You are excited to join an international and interdisciplinary group that spans many topics and fields.
  • You feel that your enthusiasm, skills, and creativity provide you with a sound basis to start an academic career.
We offer

This position will lead to either an employment at ETH Zurich (primary workplace in Zurich) or at HEC Lausanne (primary workplace in Lausanne). We offer a truly interdisciplinary working environment with a long-standing collaboration between ETH Zurich and HEC Lausanne. We maintain close contact with leading scholars in our fields across the globe, including at top U.S. institutions. Throughout the year, we organize various seminar series and conferences. These events create rich opportunities for you to meet and exchange ideas with discourse-shaping researchers in your field. Our broad network opens attractive career prospects. We offer an internationally competitive salary and comprehensive benefits. In addition, we provide support for attending multinational conferences and workshops as well as research stays abroad. We envision a starting date in the summer or fall of 2025, but are flexible. The initial employment runs for two years, with the possibility of extensions.

We value diversity

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
