Helsinki Graduate School of Economics (Helsinki GSE) brings together the economics faculty from three Finnish universities – Aalto University, Hanken School of Economics, and University of Helsinki. Our mission is to produce outstanding research with maximum academic and social impact, to educate the next generation of world-class economists, and to offer excellent training across disciplinary borders. Helsinki GSE collaborates closely with VATT Institute for Economic Research.
As part of the Helsinki GSE initiative, the Department of Economics at Aalto University School of Business invites applications for
a postdoctoral position in economics.
The position is in the Department of Economics of the Aalto University, the leading research-oriented economics unit in Finland. The position is part of project “Climate Optimal Income Taxation”, funded by Research Council of Finland and led by Professor Matti Liski. The project develops a mechanism design approach to externality problems with redistribution objectives, and it has both theoretical and empirical arms. A successful candidate could have a theory or public finance background with interest in environmental economics, but candidates with broad applied interest are encouraged to apply.
The department focuses on theoretical and empirical microeconomics broadly defined. For more information about the Department, please visit http://economics.aalto.fi/en/
The selected candidate will work as a part of the Helsinki GSE research community. Environmental economics is one of the GSE research areas, organizing PhD-level teaching, workshops and a seminar series. The research group is hiring another post-doc through University of Helsinki, see https://www.helsinki.fi/en/about-us/careers.
The position is filled for two years, starting in 2024.
