Alexandra Seehaus holds a PhD in Work and Employment Relations, awarded by the University of Leeds (2025), and has, until recently, held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Leeds University Business School. As a postdoctoral researcher for NEXT-UP, she is based at the Institute of Government and Public Policy (IGOP) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She is interested in social inequality, changes in the world of work, and labour relations.

She has focused on young workers in precarious employment and platform workers in various national contexts.
