UniDistance Suisse offers fully online university degree programmes and is accredited under the Swiss Higher Education Act (HEdA). It combines flexible, location‑independent, part‑time distance learning with an active, interdisciplinary research culture on its campus in Brig. Across five faculties – Law, Psychology, Business & Economics, History, and Mathematics & Computer Science – we have been shaping modern teaching, learning, and research for more than 30 years. Today, UniDistance Suisse has over 2,700 students and around 550 staff members.
To further support the growth and development of UniDistance Suisse, the Faculty of Business & Economics invites applications for the following positions:
The two professorships are in empirical management research, with a particular interest in the opportunities and challenges associated with digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in organisations and the wider economy. Relevant research areas include decision research, human resource management, managerial accounting, innovation and digitisation, industrial organisation, information systems, data science for business, and related areas of empirical management research. Methodologically, the research profiles should be grounded in quantitative empirical approaches, including field or laboratory experiments and/or the analysis of organisational, personnel, or other data sources using modern quantitative methods.
Successful candidates fit well with the faculty’s existing research cluster in applied microeconomics and econometrics and contribute to collaboration and exchange across research groups. Ideal candidates therefore also build on perspectives from microeconomics and address topics of societal relevance related to the existing research cluster.
