The Chair of Business Information Systems (Professor Thomas Widjaja) and the DFG Research Training Group 2720 “Digital Platform Ecosystems” (DPE) at the University of Passau invite applications for the position of

Doctoral Researcher
(Ph.D. Candidate)

in the area of data-driven business models for digital platforms

to start at the earliest convenience.

This is a fully-funded full-time position (100% FTE), based on a fixed-term contract with a three-year term with the option of renewal. Remuneration is in accordance with pay grade E13 of the German public-sector collective agreement, TV-L; the salary step depends on your qualifications and experience.

We investigate the design of data-driven business models for digital platforms from the perspective of users and platform providers. From the user's perspective, we are exploring how consumers react to digital platforms monetizing users' personal data (e.g., when data is passed on to advertisers). From the provider's perspective, it is essential to balance additional revenues from (more intensive) use of the data with the potential deterrent effect of such monetization strategies on users. Our research aims to develop profitable and privacy-friendly data-driven business models in the context of digital platforms.

What we seek

You are a highly motivated postgraduate with an excellent master’s degree in business informatics, industrial engineering, business administration, cultural studies, computer science or psychology with a minor in business. You can also apply before graduation if you are expecting to finish your degree soon. Preliminary part-time employment up to 0.5 full-time equivalent in line with pay grade E12 TV-L may be arranged temporarily for candidates who have not yet completed their master’s thesis. Please contact us for details.
Very good analytical skills and most importantly a keen interest in current economic and technical developments in the field of data-driven business models for digital platforms.
Interest in empirical research (e.g. surveys, experiments).
Ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team, open-mindedness, and the motivation to work on a research project independently and diligently.
Excellent spoken and written English language skills. Knowledge of German is not a requirement.

What we offer

The opportunity to pursue doctoral study at a renowned German university as part of a particularly strong research team with internationally recognised research activities at the highest scholarly level (see https://www.bis.uni-passau.de/en/research/research-interest).
Membership in the interdisciplinary Research Training Group 2720 Digital Platform Ecosystems (see https://dpe.uni-passau.de/en for details and activities) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
