IFS is Europe’s leading centre for microeconomic research and is an authoritative, independent commentator on a wide range of policy issues, aiming to bridge the gap between academia and the wider public.

The Director is Helen Miller and the Research Director is Imran Rasul. Research at IFS is led by a large number of Co-Directors including James Banks, Richard Blundell, Aureo de Paula, Eric French, Francois Gerard, Rachel Griffth, Attila Lindner, and Fabien Postel-Vinay.

Candidates should have an excellent academic background, a track-record of producing high-quality economic research and experience of and/or commitment to working on the UK context. First rate communication skills and a capacity and willingness to manage and develop junior colleagues are essential. Experience of achieving policy impact through research or of successfully bidding for external funding would be an additional asset. We are particularly interested in candidates working on the topics of public finance, tax, firms and labour markets.

Successful candidates are expected to build on their research agenda at IFS, lead projects aimed at publishing in top economics journals, raise funding, and influence policymaking through direct engagement with policymakers and the media. In addition, they will be expected to engage in mentorship and development of more junior researchers, often including formal line management responsibilities, contribute to the wider intellectual life and running of the institute. They will work within a team of researchers whose direction of research fits with the researcher’s expertise and interests. This will likely include a mix of senior academics and IFS research staff.

These are permanent positions with a remit to help shape, carry out, and communicate empirical research. The IFS promotes from within, and successful candidates would have scope for promotion and to develop a long-term career at IFS. Applicants would join at the top of the pay-scale for IFS Research Economists with the expectation of quick promotion to the position of Senior Research Economist (subject to performance), for which the salary range is currently £73,400 to £90,900. There will be considerable scope for successful candidates to shape future research ideas and to work on new initiatives to communicate our work and shape policy debates.

We welcome applications from individuals who have completed their PhD or students expecting to complete a PhD in 2026.

Applications should be submitted via EconJobMarket. We aim to interview shortlisted candidates at the European Job Market, which will be held virtually in December 15-18, 2025. Subsequent fly-outs will be arranged in January 2026 for short-listed candidates.

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant Postdoc in Labor Economics at the Department of Economics.

The Department of Economics engages in research, teaching, and knowledge transfer within the core areas of economics, i.e. microeconomics, macroeconomics, and quantitative methods. The department has a strong research profile and an excellent track record in fundraising. It is especially active in business-related and applied economic research, and hosts two research centers: Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) and Pension Research Centre (PeRCent). The department currently manages several research projects funded by Danish and EU research councils, as well as by private foundations and companies. In addition, the department is responsible for teaching at the undergraduate, graduate, and PhD levels across various study programs at CBS.

The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with Associate Professor Annaïg Morin on a research project exploring gender differences in labor market dynamics and career progression. The project examines the origins and consequences of gender disparities in employment trajectories, firm and task segregation, and career advancement, with a focus on how family dynamics, social norms, and household specialization shape job search behavior and labor market outcomes. The research combines empirical analysis using Danish register data with the development of search-theoretic models. In addition to contributing to the project, the postdoctoral researcher will be encouraged to pursue independent research in related fields.

ECONOMIST / Sr. ECONOMIST JOB DESCRIPTION

About CEGIS

Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS – pronounced See-Jis) aims to improve lives by helping Indian state governments deliver better development outcomes. We believe that well-functioning governments share at least four features with high-performing organisations: (a) outcome measurement and data driven decision making: which requires appropriate data collection (on both inputs and outcomes), analysis, insight generation, and decision making at different levels of government; (b) effective personnel management including – competency-based hiring and training, adequate staffing, appropriate job assignments, and performance measurement and management; (c) strategic public finance where attention is paid to both the quantity and quality of expenditure and revenue, and where resource allocation is based on evidence and cost-effectiveness; (d) and creating efficient systems to leverage markets and external actors (including for-profit and nonprofit organisations). At CEGIS, we support state governments to build these foundations so that they can deliver development outcomes more effectively.

CEGIS works closely with the political and bureaucratic leadership in Indian states to achieve transformational change. We are currently present in 8 states - Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, BTR (Assam), Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha. We also partner with union agencies/ministries such as Capacity Building Commission, Ministry of Women & Child Development (MoWCD), Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) to share insights from our state-level work and disseminate them broadly. We also collaborate closely with academics and research institutions to ensure our work is grounded in rigorous research and evidence-based practices.

CEGIS Approach and Model of Functioning

Our solutions to enhance governance are co-created with state governments in a “state-led” way, where we focus on deep partnerships with states with an iterative cycle of “think-demonstrate-document-transfer”. We work closely with the top bureaucratic leadership, front-line workers and public officials in Finance, Planning, Human Resources and a few other priority line departments. Many of our solutions reflect ideas outlined in our founder Prof. Karthik Muralidharan’s book (Accelerating India’s Development), and these solutions are constantly being refined based on real-time feedback and are designed to both be customized to the contexts we are working in, and to create templates that can provide the starting point for replication across contexts.

To further explore the mission of CEGIS and the impact we hope to have, please take a look at this video of our CEO, Dr Vijay Pingale.
