The position is open for applicants with a recent PhD, or those close to finishing their studies, in economics or finance who work in the field of household finance or at the intersection of household finance and applied microeconomics.

Lund University is one of the largest universities in Scandinavia and the Department of Economics is a well-established research and teaching institution with a full-scale postgraduate program. Lund is an old attractive university town 10 minutes from Malmö and 40 minutes from Copenhagen.

We wish to fill the position no later than September 2022, although there is room for some flexibility. The position is a six-year tenure-track and comes with a low teaching load and a competitive salary package. Salary takes the form of a tax-exempt scholarship and a part-time taxed employment. The net monthly pay roughly equals SEK 40,000. In addition, there will be annual funds to cover research expenses and insurances. The Department’s working language (including teaching) is English and knowledge of Swedish is not required.

Applicants with a PhD from outside Sweden are especially welcome to apply. Research potential is our key selection criterion for the advertised position. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research suitable for publication in leading or highly ranked field and general economics and finance journals.

Deadline and Selection Process:
