Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich is inviting applications for a postdoctoral candidate who will be expected to work on studies within an existing project on “Sustainable Consumer Behavior” led by Prof. Renate Schubert at ETH Zurich which is part of the Swiss National Research Program on “sustainable economy” running until August 2022. At the same time, the position allows to continue or develop the candidate’s own research agenda, preferably in the field of behavioral, environmental, and/or organizational economics within the new team of Prof. Manuel Grieder at UniDistance Suisse. The position does not involve any mandatory teaching duties, but, if desired, the candidate could be integrated in teaching activities at UniDistance Suisse. Applications from international candidates are welcome. In case of employment, however, the official residence must be changed to Switzerland due to social security regulations. Applications by women are particularly encouraged.
