Doctoral Positions at the Social Networks Lab of ΕΤΗ Ζurich

The Social Networks Lab is offering fully funded doctoral positions (3-4 years), starting in late 2020 or early 2021. The doctoral projects are supervised by Prof. Christoph Stadtfeld. Researchers in the Social Networks Lab investigate the structure and dynamics of social networks by combining research approaches from the social sciences, statistics, and computer science.

Sociological analysis of large-scale digital data and survey data
Statistical models and scientific software for the empirical study of social network dynamics
