Career
Academic Career
Christoph Kern graduated in 2011 (Dipl.-Soz.-Wiss.) from the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), where he studied sociology with a focus on methods for empirical social science research. In 2016 he completed his PhD (Dr. rer. pol.) at the UDE with a thesis on „Modeling dyadic decision-making processes of regional mobility“.
Since 2017 Christoph Kern is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Professorship for Statistics and Methodology at the University of Mannheim. Before joining the University of Mannheim, he was a Research Associate at the Professorship for Empirical Social Research and Statistics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (2011-2017).
