PhD Position in Trade, Supply Chains, and Climate Shocks at ETH Zürich ETH Zürich in Switzerland

ETH Zürich’s KOF Institut is advertising an open PhD position on global trade, supply chains, and climate shocks. The project studies how weather and climate shocks propagate through international trade networks, combining quantitative modelling with firm-level data to analyse resilience and generate policy-relevant insights.

The position is part of NCCR CLIM+, a Switzerland-wide research initiative on climate extremes and societal resilience, and is embedded in the D-MTEC doctoral programme at ETH Zürich. The research sits at the intersection of economics, trade economics, climate economics, and data-driven policy analysis.

Applicants are encouraged if they have a background in economics, finance, or another quantitative field, and if they are interested in applied research with policy relevance. The post appears especially suitable for candidates with strong analytical skills and an interest in international trade networks, supply-chain resilience, and climate-related shocks.

No deadline is stated in the post. Interested candidates should apply through the linked application page and follow ETH Zürich’s online application process. The post does not mention funding details beyond the fact that this is a doctoral research position within an established research initiative.
