CEMFI is inviting applications for one or two two-year Postdoctoral Research positions. We welcome applications in the fields of Political Economy or Applied Economics. The positions are funded by the European Research Council Consolidator Grant POLTRUSTLAB, whose PI is Professor Monica Martinez-Bravo.
CEMFI is one of the leading Graduate Schools in Europe. We offer highly selective Master and PhD programs in Economics and Finance. All our research and teaching activities are done in English. Our faculty and post-doctoral researchers conduct research subject to the highest international standards.
Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the research environment at CEMFI and to participate in our academic activities, as well as to further their own research agenda.

Researchers will be involved in all aspects of the research process, including but not restricted to: experimental and research design, development of data collection instruments, analysis, and production of papers and dissemination pieces. They will have no teaching obligations.
