The Environmental Economics and Natural Resource chair group seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. A focus on the link between environment and development economics is welcomed, and we strongly encourage applicants from other economic backgrounds (e.g., applied micro) yet with an affinity to environmental challenges.
Candidates must have completed a PhD in economics. In terms of training, we have a preference for strong quantitative empirical skills (e.g., spatial econometrics, policy evaluation, analysis of cross-sectional data, causal inference, design and analysis of experimental data). As mentioned, previous work on energy or climate policy is a plus.
In summary, we search for a candidate with:
· a PhD in economics, preferably with strong empirical quantitative skills;
· a keen interest to conduct academic research that is linked to real-world problems, and that can create societal and academic impact;
· knowledge of, and affinity with environmental / development / climate economics;
· proven ability to write papers that can lead to good publications (a track-record is best);
· experience in empirical research;
· team spirit that is willing to contribute to the wider interests of the group;
· willingness to write research proposals; proven experience is even better;
· experience in teaching and supervision of MSc / BSc students.
· A research interest in climate policy is also appreciated.
