University Assistant Postdoctoral, Business, Economics and Statistics

At the University of Vienna, almost 11,000 people work together on the big questions of the future. Approximately 7,700 of them are academic staff members. These are individuals who, with their curiosity and their continuous pursuit of excellence, engage in international cutting-edge research and teaching.

The position will be in the Department of Economic Sociology. As a University Assistant postdoctoral, you will work in Bernhard Kittel’s research group. The research is focused on institutional and organizational changes in economy and society. At the center of this work are processes in which political, economic, and social actors respond to new challenges, thereby transforming existing institutional orders, market structures, and societal guiding principles. Specific focal points may include, for example, the labor market, the welfare state, or social cohesion. In terms of content, the significance of norms and institutions for individual action is a primary focus. In the department, the group represents a theory-driven, quantitative approach in a methodologically integrative research setting. The employee is expected to develop their own independent research profile.
