Lukas Seibert is a DPhil (PhD) candidate in Politics at the Department of Politics and International Relations. In his doctoral thesis, titled Essays on Legislators’ Second Jobs, he investigates how transparency regulations affect lawmakers’ extra-parliamentary activities and public perceptions, and how remunerated side jobs influence their behaviour within parliament. By exploring these dynamics, his work sheds light on broader questions of transparency and accountability in legislative bodies.
Lukas’s broader research interests encompass the role of money in politics, the behaviour of political elites, and questions of transparency and accountability. His work utilises quantitative and computational methods to analyse the functioning of political institutions and decision-making processes.
Lukas holds an MSc in European and International Public Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and a BA in Political Science and Public Law from Heidelberg University. His doctoral studies are generously funded by the Queen’s College Waverley Scholarship.
