The Econometric Institute at Erasmus University Rotterdam invites applications for multiple full-time tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. The expected start date is September 2027. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in Financial Econometrics, Data Science, or Machine Learning.

Applicants should have (or be very near completion of) a PhD by the start date. Candidates should demonstrate excellence in research and teaching and a commitment to university service. Specific expertise in an application area is highly appreciated. The department’s current focal application areas are finance, energy and sustainability, policy evaluation, climate, transportation and logistics, and analytics for business (see here for more details).

The compensation package is competitive at the European level and includes several secondary benefits. Favorable tax agreements may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The school offers the possibility for early-tenure (after 3 years), that is, already being granted a permanent contract at the level of assistant professor.
