Durham University

Finland

Start date: autumn 2025
Post duration: 3 years in the first instance, with a 1-year extension negotiable

Applications evaluated on a rolling basis

The Digital Economic Security Lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with a background in politics, law, economics, or related disciplines to work on?GEOCLOUD: The Geopolitics of Cloud Computing, a European Research Council Advanced Grant project.

Outsourcing computation to cloud providers can be economically efficient while at the same time generating new systemic risks and dependencies that governments try to manage.

GEOCLOUD is concerned with mapping the changing geography of computational infrastructures and understanding how it is shaped by the interaction of technology companies’ business interests and states’ economic and security interests.

The project focuses on Europe and East/Southeast Asia, situated within the broader context of U.S.-China technological rivalry. It aims to contribute to international political economy, security studies, and related fields. The researcher will join a multi-disciplinary team led by Professor Vili Lehdonvirta, consisting of both computer and social scientists.

Principal investigator and community

The project’s principal investigator, professor Vili Lehdonvirta, is a Finnish-British sociologist and political economist with a background in computer science. He is the recipient of three European Research Council grants, has served on high-level expert groups at the European Commission, and has published two books on digital economies translated to Japanese, Chinese, and Italian. He holds a dual appointment as Professor of Technology Policy, Department of Computer Science, Aalto University, and Professor of Economic Sociology and Digital Social Research, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford.

The postdoctoral researcher position is part of Professor Lehdonvirta’s Aalto-Oxford joint research group, titled the?Digital Economic Security Lab (DIESL). The multidisciplinary lab comprises both social and computer scientists. The lab’s joint activities include weekly cross-site virtual seminars, annual in-person workshops in Oxford and Helsinki, and conference trips.

Responsibilities

The postdoctoral researcher will lead a work package in the GEOCLOUD project that focuses on comparative policy analysis. The aim of the work package is to understand how governments attempt to influence the geography of computation through various cloud-relevant policies, and what impact these policies may have.

This involves three related responsibilities:

Documenting and categorizing government cloud policies

The researcher will develop a dataset of government policies that may shape cloud infrastructure in selected jurisdictions, including Northern Europe, East/Southeast Asia, the U.S., and China. Drawing on existing databases (such as the Digital Trade Integration Database and Digital Policy Alert) and additional sources, the postdoc will systematise policy examples into a format suitable for comparative and quantitative analysis. Relevant policy instruments may include cross-border data flow regulations, procurement rules (e.g. ‘cloud-first’ mandates), tax incentives, infrastructure investments, or designations such as ‘trusted cloud’.

Interview-based assessment of policy impacts

The researcher will conduct interviews with key stakeholders in selected countries. These include policy makers and cloud industry professionals. The goal is to assess the perceived and observed effects of government policies on cloud adoption, infrastructure investments, and data centre location decisions.

Contributing to quantitative analysis of policy impacts

The GEOCLOUD project team will use the cloud policy dataset together with infrastructure and usage data developed in other work packages to model how policies influence cloud geography and computational centralization.

Methods may include multiple regression, panel data models, difference-in-differences, and multilevel modeling.

The postdoc will take part in the analysis to test hypotheses on how specific policies (e.g. subsidies, foundry investments, procurement rules) shape outcomes such as data centre presence or market share of local vs. hyperscale solutions. These analyses will contribute to estimating the economic and political trade-offs of digital sovereignty goals.

The role can be adjusted towards qualitative or quantitative research, depending on the profile of the successful candidate. Additional support for data collection and analysis is available, depending on the researcher’s methodological focus and needs.

In addition to leading their own work package, the postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the broader GEOCLOUD project by co-authoring publications, guiding junior team members, and engaging in public outreach. They will also play a role in shaping the project’s future outputs, such as an open-access “Cloud Observatory” data portal.

Overall, the postdoctoral position requires strong research and teamwork skills, and in return offers excellent career development opportunities, including travel funding, open access publication funding, co-authoring opportunities, graduate supervision opportunities, training courses, access to academic networks in Helsinki, Oxford, and beyond. In particular, Professor Lehdonvirta is keen to support team members in ultimately developing their own ERC Starting Grant applications.
