Research Position in the framework of the Bielefeld Graduate School of Economics and Management (BiGSEM) in cooperation with the Research Training Group "CUDE"
ID: Wiss24671
- starting: 01.10.2025

Bielefeld Graduate School of Economics and Management (BiGSEM) is a structured, comprehensive doctoral program with three possible profiles in Economics, Finance and Management. It provides advanced education and offers opportunities to conduct research and accomplish a doctoral dissertation in an international scientific environment.
The offered doctoral position is allocated to the Research Training Group 'Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Economies' (CUDE) and doctoral researchers will become fellows in a structured doctoral program, the Bielefeld Graduate School of Economics and Management (BiGSEM). The newly established Research Training Group CUDE is concerned with a new subfield in economic theory that merges two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics. Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense of Frank Knight, in that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This Knightian uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world's mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological development. Its analysis has been a central research topic in decision theory for the last two decades, and increasingly in microeconomic theory more generally, currently being explored at research centers around the world. As main innovation of our program, we seek to explore the implications of uncertainty in dynamic economies, which is vastly understudied at present but critical to answer the economic questions raised by the aforementioned mega trends. For more information, visit the Website. We emphasize that the Research Training Group also offers its doctoral researchers a variety of qualification programs as well as comprehensive preparation for the academic job market, thus ensuring the basis for an academic career.
