Andreas Schädel is an Advisor in Berghof’s Monitoring and Evaluation team, where he currently supports our Ethiopia portfolio. At Berghof, he has previously provided advisory support to projects across a range of contexts, including Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan, covering thematic areas such as mediation and dialogue support, climate and peace, insider mediation, transitional justice, and peace education.
Prior to joining Berghof, Andreas worked as a postdoctoral researcher and PhD candidate at the Chair of International Conflict Research at ETH Zurich, where his research examined interaction dynamics between governments and self-determination movements, with a particular focus on how different responses to separatist challenges shape subsequent conflict behavior. Other professional experience includes work with the Disarmament Section of the Swiss Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, as well as positions with a major international bank, a financial market supervisory authority and research roles at Yale University and University of Pennsylvania.
His research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including the American Political Science Review and the Journal of Conflict Resolution. Andreas holds a PhD in Conflict Research from ETH Zurich, an MA in International and Comparative Studies from ETH Zurich and a BA in Political Science and Economics, which he completed at the University of Zurich and Sciences Po Bordeaux.
