Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE, UMR 7316) and Aix-Marseille Université (AMU) are recruiting a Junior Professor Chair (Chaire de Professeur Junior, CPJ) on the theme "Public Policy Evaluation and Analysis of Public Administration Institutions".

Please read the application procedure first. This advertisement is for information only. Applications cannot be submitted through EconJobMarket: the only valid channel is the French ministerial platform Odyssée (https://odyssee.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr), vacancy reference 262410. Applications close on 21 September 2026, 16:00 Paris time; incomplete files at that date are ruled inadmissible. Note that the identity document, the doctoral degree certificate and the thesis defence report must each be accompanied by a French translation, whose accuracy the candidate certifies on their honour. The full list of required items (online form, the four documents above, the completed CPJ application form "doc 5", and up to a selection of published works) is given on Odyssée.

The CPJ is a fixed-term contract of five years leading, after evaluation by a dedicated committee, to tenure as Professeur des Universités (category A) — the senior professorial rank in the French system. Gross salary during the contract is €4,061 per month (about €48,700 per year), evolving thereafter along the professorial scale. The chair carries a 50% reduction in teaching load — 64 hours per year instead of 128 — during the first three years. Further teaching load reduction may be granted based on participation in policy evaluation contracts. The contract must be signed in December 2026, but the starting date can be in 2027 and will be agreed upon with the selected candidate.

The chair comes with a €200,000 ANR package, of which €120,000 is earmarked for hiring (PhD student, postdoctoral researcher, or research engineer). AMSE is a joint research unit of AMU, CNRS, EHESS and Centrale Méditerranée, spread across Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, with a long-standing graduate school and stable research funding.

We are looking for an empirical economist working on the causal evaluation of public policies with advanced econometric methods. Environmental taxation, corporate taxation and redistributive policies are priority areas of application, but strong empirical candidates in public economics, environmental economics, law and economics, labour, health, education or innovation economics with a clear public-policy orientation are equally welcome. Experience in research environments where policy evaluation and tax or environmental economics are central to institutional debate is an asset. The chair is part of AMSE's ambition to become a European reference centre for policy evaluation, through international consortia, cross-country administrative data and competitive European funding.

A doctorate (or a degree recognised as equivalent) is required to apply to the position.

A selection committee shortlists on the basis of the Odyssée file. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a 45-minute online interview with the selection panel in early November. Offers will be made shortly after.

Questions about the position may be addressed to arthur.guillouzouic-le-corff@univ-amu.fr and administrative questions to drh-bureau-enseignants@univ-amu.fr.

Université PSL is launching a call for applications for a Junior Professor Chair in Economics, titled "Economics, Information, Data, AI", based at the LEDa research center, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, Paris, France.

This is a tenure track position with a reduced teaching load leading to a full professor position at LEDa, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL. The position may start at a mutually agreed date between March 2027 and December 2027.

The position is open to all researchers wishing to develop their work in economics, with a focus on information, data, and AI. This work may be theoretical, or empirical in areas where the scarcity of traditional economic data makes innovative data construction particularly valuable (developing countries, history, experimentation, etc.). The position includes internationally competitive salary and start-up package.

Location: Université Paris Dauphine, Paris, France

Start Date: A mutually agreed date between March and December 2027.

Financial Support

Salary: The annual salary will be equivalent to a Professor (Second class) position (between €40,000 and €45,000 gross per year, depending on experience) during the tenure-track period. This salary is slightly negotiable depending on the candidate's initial experience.

Associated funding : The Junior Professor Chair will receive a € 200,000 startup package during the tenure-track period, including wages for one PhD student and one postdoctoral researcher (for two years), and equipment and operating expenses.

Duration of the chair contract: Between 4-year and 5-year tenure-track phase depending on the recruited candidate profile, followed by permanent professorship after evaluation by a dedicated committee. The tenure-track period may be extended by one additional year by decision of the evaluation committee.

Teaching may be conducted in French or in English. Yet to be tenured, the Junior Professor must be able to teach in French for at least part of their course load. Communication with administration at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL is conducted in French.

Requirements to apply

Candidates must hold a PhD degree in economics and have a research record including publications in fields relevant to the job profile and in top-ranking journals. They must be fluent in English. A post-doctoral position outside France is a strong asset.

Research Project

The successful candidate should be committed to a state-of-the-art research program focusing on economics in the fields of information, data, and AI. It may be theoretical, or empirical in fields where the scarcity of traditional economic data makes innovative data construction particularly valuable (developing countries, history, experimentation, etc.).

The project may tackle production, circulation, or processing of information and its role in individual or collective behaviors and trajectories. The project can also rely on theoretical and/or applied microeconomics approaches, especially in information economics, game theory, mechanism design, and matching. It may include laboratory or field experiments, or the production and analysis of innovative observational data (geospatial data, data from natural language processing or remote sensing, etc.). Special attention will be given to the intersection of applied economics, AI, and the analysis of economic decisions and policies.

Teaching Project

The Junior Professor will contribute to undergraduate economics courses. Depending on their specialization, they may also teach in development economics, data science, and information economics at the master’s and PhD levels. They will help develop innovative modules at the intersection of economics, data, and AI, with a focus on quantitative methods, information analysis and production, and their links with economic development challenges.

The Junior Professor will teach in PSL and Université Paris Dauphine-PSL programs, particularly in the Master in Quantitative Economics and in the Master in International Affairs and Development, as well as in programs related to development, data science, and AI. Teaching will emphasize the use of innovative data, empirical and experimental methods, and AI tools for economic analysis and public policy evaluation.
