The duration of the positions is initially limited to two years, starting on October 1st, 2021 or later, and with the option of an extension. The fixed-term nature of the contracts is based upon the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG) with the objective of promoting the scientific qualification of the academic employees.
The successful candidate conducts research and teaching (teaching in German is not required) in the area of Industrial Organization, Behavioural Economics, Competition Economics, Consumer Protection, Econometrics or in International Economics from an Industrial-Organization perspective.
Candidates must have completed a master’s degree in Economics or a related discipline with outstanding grades. A PhD in a relevant field is required. We expect very good knowledge of theoretical and empirical economic methods and excellent command of the English language.
The exact salary will depend on the personal qualification of the applicant up to EG 13 TV-L. Appointments may also be part-time, provided there are no overriding administrative reasons in individual cases for requiring full-time employment. Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf wants to increase the share of women among its employees. Applications from women will therefore be given preference if they have the same suitability, ability and professional performance, unless a competitor has a better qualification.
