Position Introduction

We are seeking multiple highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join an interdisciplinary research team engaged in a close collaboration with a leading global ride-hailing platform. This ambitious project aims to advance our understanding of digital marketplace design by studying the interactions between customers and drivers, as well as the platform’s operational and strategic choices.

A defining strength of this collaboration is access to exceptionally rich, high-resolution proprietary data from the platform. This unique dataset supports rigorous empirical analysis and enables high-fidelity modeling and simulation of marketplace dynamics at scale. Research topics span a broad set of questions, including how pricing strategies, incentive structures, dispatch algorithms, and service quality shape the behavior and outcomes of customers, drivers, and the platform itself.

We welcome applicants with strong backgrounds in causal inference, structural estimation, advanced machine learning, and simulation. We are especially interested in scholars eager to apply cutting-edge methods to real- world data to uncover insights that are both academically rigorous and practically actionable. The overarching goal is to inform the design of smarter, more equitable, and more efficient platform ecosystems.

On Oct 28 the recruiter edited this ad text to improve clarity

The Kiel Institute is proud to launch a new postdoctoral fellow program in honor of Albert O. Hirschman – who was born in Berlin, fled Nazi Germany, and became an eminent scholar in international economics, development economics, geoeconomics and international political economy. Hirschman valued creativity over conformity and left a lasting mark on economics and the social sciences. In his spirit, the program seeks to bring together exceptional young economists who are eager to pursue bold, relevant questions in international economics and help shape the future of the field.

The PostDoc program

The Albert O. Hirschman PostDoc program in Berlin / Kiel is highly selective and will admit up to five postdoctoral participants per year, aiming to build a small, cohesive cohort. The first cohort will start on 1 September 2026. Participants can choose to work in our offices in Berlin or Kiel, embedded in the Kiel Institute’s research environment and broader policy network. We expect participants to pursue independent research at the highest international standards, to engage with our seminar culture, and to contribute—by choice and fit—to supervision and collaborative projects.

The program focuses on international economics broadly defined, including fields such as international trade, international finance, macroeconomics, development, climate economics, as well as geoeconomics and security.

Contracts will be offered for one or two years, depending on the job market outcome. A one-year appointment is intended for candidates who plan to accept a subsequent position (for example, an Assistant Professorship). A two-year appointment is intended for candidates without a confirmed follow-up position.

Career development is a central feature of the program. Each participant will have one or more professors of the Kiel Institute as mentors and a small “peer board” of senior scholars (including external professors) for strategy and placement advice. We will organize structured job-market preparation for candidates joining for two years, including paper polishing, application materials, mock interviews and talks, and targeted placement mentoring. Participants may also receive tailored grant-writing training.

What we offer

Participants will control their own budget to hire research assistants, for conference travel, research stays abroad, or to run a seminar series or mini workshop with external speakers. Teaching and administrative duties will be kept to a minimum, but we offer teaching practice opportunities at partner universities, as well as participation in selected ASP training courses to learn state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the group will receive financing and support to present and network at major Kiel–CEPR conferences—such as those on China, Africa, Geoeconomics, and the Kiel Trade Summit— which offer direct exposure to top scholars and policymakers.

Postdocs will earn a gross annual salary approximately in the €56k–€79k range, depending on experience and qualification, with a German TV-L E13 (100%) contract with full social security coverage, including health insurance. Participants benefit from travel and research support and from a family-friendly environment including paid parental leave in line with German law (with contracts extended for the duration of parental leave). Office space, IT support, and access to Institute data resources are provided at the host location.

Your profile

To be eligible, applicants must hold a PhD in economics or a closely related field that was awarded within the three years preceding the program start, or must have formally submitted the dissertation by 1 September 2026 (with defense shortly thereafter). Strong written and spoken English is required; German is not required. We particularly welcome applications from researchers working on geoeconomics and security and aim to admit at least 50% women to the program. Eligibility is open to all nationalities.

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant Postdoc in Behavioral and Applied Microeconomics at the Department of Economics.

The Department of Economics provides research, teaching, and knowledge transfer within the core areas of economics, i.e. microeconomics, macroeconomics, and quantitative methods. The department is especially active in business-related economic research, and hosts two research centres: Pension Research Centre (PeRCent), and Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI).

The department is responsible for teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and PhD levels in economics at various study programs at CBS, including the graduate program of Applied Economics and Finance and the MSc in Advanced Economics and Finance. High priority is given to research support, travel support, and access to data.

The Postdoc will work with Associate Professor Luigi Butera (Copenhagen Business School) and Professor Dmitry Taubinsky (UC Berkeley) and their research team, which is a young, energetic group of faculty, graduate students, and full-time research assistants who come from UC Berkeley, CBS, and other institutions. The position is based at Copenhagen Business School, with options to visit UC Berkeley. At the end of the Postdoc, Butera and Taubinsky expect the Postdoc to have completed co-authored manuscripts with them and their team, and they will provide strong support on the academic job market. Butera and Taubinsky will work with the Postdoc to offer a clear publication pipeline and career-development support.

The Postdoc is expected to collaborate on the following research agendas. For each of the three research agendas, the research team will construct novel datasets that merge large-scale survey/choice experiments with rich Danish administrative data.

• The first agenda will bring to scale our understanding of the determinants of people’s subjective well-being, people’s preferences over aspects of wellbeing, and people’s forecasts of their own and others’ wellbeing.
• The second agenda investigates at scale how people’s (mis)perceptions about their own past and future financial situation, as well as a host of other potential behavioral biases, shape their key economic choices.
• The third agenda seeks to understand how emotionally-charged but transitory life events with no long-term consequences impact people’s financial and health decisions—and the role of memory as a mechanism.

The Postdoc is a non-tenured position for a three-year period with research obligation and without teaching obligation.

To fulfill the research requirements of the position, the applicant chosen is expected to be physically present on a regular basis and actively participate in the teaching and research activities of the Department.

Qualifications
The applicant must hold a PhD in Economics (or adjacent disciplines) by July 2026 or the equivalent. In assessing applications, particular emphasis will be placed on the following:

• Proven experience in applied micro-econometric methods and survey/experimental design.
• Experience with administrative data (especially from Denmark) and knowledge of Danish are a plus.
• You are a team player who likes to take initiative and go after ambitious and novel research questions.

Emphasis is placed on research relevant to the job description.

The applicant must have professional proficiency in English (written and spoken).

Copenhagen Business School has a broad commitment to the excellence, distinctiveness and relevance of its teaching and research programmes. Candidates who wish to join us should demonstrate enthusiasm for working in an organisation of this type (highlighting, for example, relevant business, educational and dissemination activities).

For further information please contact: Associate Professor Luigi Butera, tel.: +45 3815 25 92, e-mail lbu.eco@cbs.dk. Information about the department may be found at www.cbs.dk/econ.

The Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Behavioral and Environmental Economics. The position is available from 1 August 2026, it is however possible to start employment at an earlier or later date, this is after agreement with the hiring committee. The postdoc position is for a duration of 2 years. A 3-year postdoc position can be discussed during the interview stage.

Introduction
This position is part of the project Behavioral foundations of Technology Adoption: Bridging the Energy-Efficiency gap (BeTA-BEE), funded by a Carlsberg Semper Ardens research grant. The research project is led by Associate Professor Christina Gravert and includes two PhD students and research assistants.

BeTA-BEE investigates why households fail to adopt energy-efficient technologies despite clear financial and environmental benefits. Focusing on buildings, which account for around 31% of global CO₂ emissions, the project explores the behavioral barriers behind the persistent “energy-efficiency gap” and slow renovation rates. With global energy demand expected to grow by 47% by 2050, improving efficiency is essential for a low-carbon future. Yet, despite massive policy efforts, household adoption of energy-efficient technology remains disappointingly low. By uncovering hidden behavioral and non-monetary factors shaping household investment decisions, the project will provide crucial insights for policymakers to accelerate energy savings and combat climate change. The project combines machine learning on comprehensive Danish administrative data with nation-wide surveys and field experiments. These methods will identify predictors of adoption behavior, estimate the importance of behavioral barriers and non-monetary costs, and test interventions to encourage energy-efficient investments in collaboration with government agencies and stakeholders.

The research group is part of CEBI, Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality. A successful candidate will therefore also be part of the center. Read more here: https://www.econ.ku.dk/cebi/
