The Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) – Member of the Leibniz Association is offering the position of a

Postdoctoral Researcher in Financial Economics (f/m/x, 100%) JEL Classification: G

At the IWH

Researchers at the Financial Markets department study economic mechanisms by which financial systems, institutions, and markets route savings to investors. By using microeconometric methods that are grounded in financial economic theory, our research is focused on three main areas: First, the analysis of how banks and other financial institutions over­come information frictions in conducting their intermediation function. Second, how households and firms optimise savings, investment, and capital structure decisions conditional on the governance environment they face. Third, the determinants of financial system regulation and its effects on agents’ choices in both financial markets and the real economy, such as the inception of the European Banking Union or “Green” stress tests. We seek to answer these questions in close collaborations with fellow academics and policy makers, central bankers from across the globe, and other NGO.

What we offer

The Halle Institute for Economic Research is closely linked with the national and international scientific community. We offer a vibrant, international research environment, light non-research duties, an outstanding database infrastructure, an active seminar culture, and generous research support.

Heterodox Academy's Center for Academic Pluralism (CAP) invites applications for academic year 2024-2025 residential Faculty Research Fellowships in New York City, for scholars interested in exploring the theoretical and empirical foundations of pluralism in higher institutions of research and education, and sharing their findings with scholars, opinion leaders, and lay public around the world.

The scope of questions to address concerning pluralism in academia is vast. Here are some illustrative questions that illustrate its scope:

• How does pluralism in academia relate to the purposes of institutions of higher education? What are those purposes, and how might conflicts or tradeoffs between purposes be resolved?
• What is the state of pluralism in academia? What are the attitudes of various constituencies towards pluralistic norms such as viewpoint diversity and open inquiry?
• How do academic institutions function? How do the incentives they are subject to, and the incentive structures they themselves create and sustain, influence the activities of academic institutions’ constituents? How do wider cultural influences affect academic institutions? To what extent should academic institutions be responsive to wider cultural influences?
• How do academic institutions change, and how have they changed over time?
• Why should scholars welcome diverse perspectives—even challenging or perhaps unpalatable perspectives—in their classrooms? What is the value of viewpoint diversity? How, under what circumstances, and to what extent do different kinds of diversity enhance or present challenges for research, teaching, learning and cooperation?
• What is the nature of open inquiry in academia, and why might it be valuable? What are the ethics of open inquiry? What are the barriers to open inquiry at various levels of the academic enterprise?
• How can disagreement about emotionally charged, highly contested topics be rendered constructive? How can scholars make progress toward knowledge and understanding onsuch topics?
• What are the best objections to pluralism in academia? How might we shift the ways pluralism in academia is understood, discussed and operationalized in light of these objections?
• What are the ethical obligations of research and teaching in a pluralistic context? What moral and intellectual virtues are relevant to academic practice, given pluralism in academia?

We are especially interested in scholars interested in investigating academic pluralism by creating or interrogating new datasets and applying creative quantitative methodologies.

Heterodox Academy (HxA) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that advances the principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement to improve higher education and academic research. With a growing membership of over 6,000 professors, administrators, and graduate students, HxA helps colleges and universities live up to their highest ideals — and resist the destructive temptations of groupthink and tribalism. Working for change in higher education, HxA communicates and engages with faculty, students, administrators, philanthropists, journalists, and the general public; develops research, tools, trainings, and events; and facilitates online and on-campus communities. Thanks to the generous support of the Templeton Religion Trust and other donors, in 2023 HxA launched the CAP to be a home for scholars from a variety of disciplines to interrogate important questions about pluralism in academia.

At the center of CAP’s activities is the work of its Faculty Fellows, who will be expected to:

• Conduct original research on pluralism in academia
• Participate in CAP’s weekly discussion and research seminar in its Manhattan office
• Write and present for public audiences about their research in HxA outlets and at HxA-sponsored events
• Give advice and feedback, where appropriate, on HxA’s internal research projects
• Contribute to a collaborative annotated bibliography of scholarly and popular resources on pluralism in academia
• Be available to engage with HxA’s Campus Community Network and present as a member of HxA’s Speakers Bureau.

Fellows appointed for a full-time nine-month Faculty Fellowship will receive an award of $100,000 that can be used for course buyouts or to supplement a Fellow’s existing salaries; however, this award cannot be used for fringe benefits, which should continue to be supported by the Fellow’s home institution. Fellows will also receive office space in CAP’s office in Manhattan for their use and a budget for the purchase of research materials.

For those unable to commit to a full nine-month appointment, semester-long and shorter appointments will be considered, with the award amount prorated accordingly. Applicants should state any such preference in their cover letter.

In order to apply for a CAP Faculty Fellowship, applicants must hold a tenured, emeritus, tenure-track, or otherwise permanent position at an accredited institution of higher education or a well-established research institution such as a think tank (e.g, Brookings Institute, Hoover Institution, AEI, etc.).

To apply, applicants should assemble the following:

• An up-to-date CV.
• A cover letter outlining your general interest in CAP’s mission, and how a term at CAP would fit into your academic goals.
• A research proposal not to exceed 2,000 words. Proposals should identify specific questions to investigate, briefly contextualize those questions in relation to existing research and CAP’s mission, explain how the applicant’s own plan might yield progress on those questions, and enumerate specific deliverables and outputs of the research plan.

Please submit these materials using the online form.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning December 1, 2023, with fellowship offers anticipated no later than March 31, 2024.

For further details, please download the fellowship description. If you have any questions about the Faculty Fellowship, please write fellowships@heterodoxacademy.org.
