In the context of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) project "REFLEX: Institutional Foundations of Industrialization, Financialization, and Globalization of the Swiss Economy. Evidence from 140 Years of the Commercial Registry", the Institute of Political Science at the University of St. Gallen (www.ipw.unisg.ch) invites applications for a PhD Position in the research group of Professor Tina Freyburg. Based on the records in the Swiss Commercial Registry on notable business events, published daily since 1883, we produce a unique dataset of 140 years of Swiss corporate history. In St.Gallen, we primarily explore structures of ownership in Swiss firms across sectors and over time – including the public-private aspect, family relationships, cultural factors, and politics.

REFLEX comprises an (inter-)national, multi-disciplinary research team from the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) in Lugano (Raphaël Parchet; Marco D’Ambros), ETH Zurich (Elliot Ash), University of St.Gallen (Anna Stünzi), and the University of Liege (Malka Guillot). The successful candidate will be involved in all parts of the project and supported in developing their own single-authored publication projects as well as in contributing to co-authored publication projects. S:he will become a full member of the Institute for Political Science at the University of St.Gallen as well as the project consortium. For more information, please see here.

The starting date is negotiable. The position would be limited to 3 years, with the possibility of extension. We accept applications on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Applicants should upload their full application (in English) – including cover letter, CV, examples of their academic work (e.g. their MA thesis or seminar papers), copies of relevant certificates and the contact details of two academic references.

We are looking forward to your online-application.
