The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the Institute of Management and Strategy (IFB-HSG) and will work on topics at the intersection of strategy and digital technology. The duration of the position is 2 years, and the expected starting date is August 1st, 2026.

The postdoctoral researcher will work under the supervision of Tim Meyer and will be part of the SNSF-funded research project "Decentralization and Platform Governance”. The objective of the project is to investigate how decentralization shapes decision-making and governance design in digital platforms. The selected candidate will thus explore research projects in the area(s) of digital technologies, platforms and ecosystems, blockchain technology and/or organization design. We offer close collaboration and strong support in pushing research projects forward and developing a solid research pipeline. The postdoctoral researcher will also have time to pursue independent projects. We encourage the development of ambitious research ideas and appreciate an active role in collaborating with faculty and PhD students at the institute.

The position requires strong expertise at the intersection of strategy and digital technologies, ideally with a focus on digital platforms. Applicants should also have solid data and methodological skills. The candidate is expected to independently identify, collect, and analyze relevant data.
