The Department of Economics at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice invites applications for a position as Senior Assistant Professor of Economics. The Department is currently seeking candidates who use a theoretical approach to study issues in micro and/or macro-economics.
The senior assistant professorship (“ricercatore a tempo determinato di tipo B, rtdB”) is a three-year tenure track position. Tenure as associate professor will be granted after three years based on a positive evaluation of the department and on obtaining the Italian national habilitation to an associate professorship. Applicants are expected to have a promising track record of publications in top international journals and evidence of recognition in the academic community of their field.
Two special conditions make the current position financially attractive. Firstly, the position is supported by a Marco Fanno Fellowship granted by the Unicredit Foundation (three annual installments of 15000 euros). Secondly, applications from scholars working abroad and who satisfy special conditions are treated under a favorable tax waiver scheme.
Applications from international scholars are especially welcome. The Department offers courses taught in English both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, therefore knowledge of Italian is neither required nor advantageous. The candidate is expected to start within 2021.
Our Department is devoted to promoting high-quality research. The most recent Italian National Research Assessment ranked us as fifth economics department in Italy, and we have been identified as a “Departments of Excellence” by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, thus securing special financial support for the 2018/2022 period. The Department also ranks favorably for research output in all international research rankings.
More information about the Department can be found at http://www.unive.it/pag/28365/.
Applicants will have to comply with the formal call publicly announced on the Italian official journal (Gazzetta Ufficiale) later in the year.
Given the formal requirements for this type of position, we will only consider candidates who have obtained a PhD earlier than January 20, 2018 and have a proven track of published research.
