The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) seeks applications for a position as
Postdoctoral Researcher – Kiel-CEPR Berlin Fellow
For the new Kiel-CEPR Research Hub in Berlin, we are looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher for a one-year Kiel-CEPR Postdoc fellowship position. The joint Kiel-CEPR Research Hub is set to host leading international guests, engage in highest-level research, offer an appealing seminar lineup and foster close links with the CEPR network.
The position is strongly research oriented in international economics and neighboring fields. There is no teaching obligation and no administrative burden. Most importantly, you will be expected to work on relevant, high-quality research and to publish in leading economics journals. You may be involved in the policy activities of the Kiel Institute, although ideally the policy work should be based on your research output.
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following criteria:
· PhD in economics or a related field (completed or close to completion).
· Strong academic record and outstanding research potential.
· The working language is English; excellent English skills are therefore required. Some knowledge of German would be useful, but is not essential.
· First publications are an asset but not a requirement.
The planned contract period is for one year (starting in the summer/fall of 2024). The salary will be based on the German public sector pay scale at grade EG 13 TV L and will therefore be between 52.000 and 75.000 € gross annually (depending on work experience). The position is full-time.
