The Institute of Economics (IdEP) at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, invites applications for one postdoctoral research position. The position is financed through a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) grant on Female Editors in Economic Sciences (principal investigator: Prof. Patricia Funk).

The Institute of Economics at USI offers an exciting research environment, competitive terms and conditions, and generous research support. The annual salary ranges from CHF 80,000 to 85,000 (around USD 90,000 to 95,000). The appointment is for up to four years with annual renewals. The position can potentially be extended by participating in competitive funding opportunities (e.g. SNF Ambizione, Marie Curie, etc.).

The ideal candidate has research interests in applied economics (e.g. gender economics, political economics, development, public economics), or a related field. The successful candidate is invited to participate in common research projects, in addition to conducting his/her own research.

Knowledge of Italian is not a requirement.
