PhD position in a large research cluster on Behavioral Economics in Northern Germany
Mario Mechtel
Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to a 75% PhD position in Behavioral Economics at Leuphana University Lüneburg. I would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity with interested Master's graduates or other suitable candidates in your networks.
The position is embedded in our research cluster “Behavioral Economics and Societal Transformation”, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. The cluster brings together around 15 professors and 30 researchers across seven universities in Lower Saxony (Northern Germany) and provides an active and highly collaborative research environment.
The successful candidate will become part of our structured PhD program and will have access to the Niedersachsenpanel, a representative subject pool that enables large-scale survey and experimental research with the general population. Funding for experiments, conference travel, and research-related activities is available.
The position includes 3 teaching hours (SWS) per semester, leaving substantial time for research.
The PhD project should be situated broadly within Behavioral Economics. Possible research areas include:
- How do individuals respond to climate policy incentives?
- How does artificial intelligence affect productivity, work, and society?
- What drives socially responsible consumption behavior?
- What role does social identity play in economic decision-making?
