List of Placements (PhD & Post-Doc)

Our PhD students obtain positions at prestigious universities worldwide, as well as positions in industry, national governments, and international organizations. Many of our graduates choose to work in Switzerland due to the high salaries and excellent quality of life. They find positions in Swiss industry (BKW, Deloitte, Mondelez International, etc.), government agencies (Swiss Competition Commission, Swiss Federal Department of Finance, Swiss Federal Tax Administration etc.) and banking (UBS, Crédit Suisse, Swiss National Bank).
