We seek experienced candidates who must already hold a PhD degree in Economics or a related area, and have a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching in Macroeconomics or a closely related field.

The successful candidate is expected to pursue independent, innovative research at the highest international level, and to establish an outstanding and competitive research program leading to publications in internationally recognized top-ranked academic journals.
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence as demonstrated by a record of high-impact contributions and publications in top-ranked and field-relevant journals, or forthcoming publications and other work in progress meeting high international standards. Other evidence of research excellence may include presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades, as well as strong endorsements from referees of high standing.
The successful candidate will also have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and to graduate student training and supervision. Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier, a teaching statement, sample course syllabi, and the teaching evaluations submitted as part of the application, as well as strong letters of reference, and a strong performance during the on-campus presentation for short-listed candidates.
