🚨I have an opening for a PhD position (4-year) in my team at IPZ - Political Science UZH starting Jan 1, 2024. Join our vibrant research environment in the department and at University of Zurich in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland! Focus of the position is on studying the #digitaltransformation of politics.

This is the “motivation wall” that I keep in my office. Whenever I’m having a tough day, I look at it for a few minutes to remind myself of what’s important.

Does anyone else have one of these?
