Postdoctoral Researcher in Applied Macroeconomics and Political Economy 100%, Zurich, fixed-term 12.08.2026 | Chair of Applied Macroeconomics, KOF Swiss Economic Institute

Postdoctoral positions are temporary research roles for recent PhD graduates, typically lasting 1–3 years. They offer salary, benefits, and often a research budget. Postdocs are common in STEM fields and increasingly in social sciences and humanities. Many are tied to specific research grants, meaning the position exists only for the duration of the funded project. Competitive postdoc fellowships (e.g., Marie Curie, Humboldt, Newton) provide higher salaries and independent research freedom.
