Zuzana Murdoch leder en Work Package i et HorizonEurope prosjekt ("DemoTrans"; 2.7 mill EUR; 2022-2026), samt et prosjekt finansert av Norsk Forskningsråd: "Longitudinal perspectives on local, central and supranational public bureaucracies" (ADM-IN-TIME; 1,070 mill. NOK; 2021-2023). Arbeidet hennes i det førstnevnte prosjektet konsentrerer seg om hvordan tid påvirker nettverksstyring, mens det siste prosjektet tar en eksplisitt longitudinell tilnærming til studiet av offentlige byråkratier.
Hun også forsker i følgende pågående forskningsprosjekter:
- Et prosjekt omhandler måling av, samt mekanismer bak, sosialiseringsprosesser i (inter) nasjonale byråkrater. Dette prosjektet er i samarbeid med Hussein Kassim (University of East Anglia), Sara Connolly (Norwich Business School), Benny Geys (BI Norwegian Business School), og Susan Webb Yackee (University of Wiconsin-Madison).
Et annet prosjekt – i samarbeid med Magali Gravier (Copenhagen Business School) – undersøker offentlige ansatte gjennom teorien om representativt byråkrati.
Et tredje prosjekt – sammen med Gro Kvåle (Universitetet of Agder) – undersøker sosiale forhandlingsprosessene som ligger bak stigma og stigmatisering av marginaliserte organisasjoner.
