CEMFI is inviting applications for up to two one-year Postdoctoral Research positions aimed at candidates who have secured an Assistant Professor Position by the time of appointment and who wish to delay the start of their new position to spend a full academic year at CEMFI. We welcome applications in any field. The positions are funded by the Maria de Maeztu Grant from Spain's Agencia Estatal de Investigación (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033).

Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to the research environment at CEMFI, as well as to further their own research agenda. They will have no teaching obligations. Candidates should have a PhD in Economics or related fields and have secured an Assistant Professor Position by the time of appointment.

CEMFI recognizes the positive value of diversity and particularly encourages applications from women and candidates with underrepresented demographics regarding disability, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, or other characteristics.

The Post-Doc will work under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, Professor Giulia Giupponi (www.giuliagiupponi.com) on Project MUR PRIN 2022 PNRR “The Career Progression Effects of Labor Market Policies”, prot. P2022FT9ZK, financed by the European Union – Next Generation EU. The position will start in May 2024 and last for up to 19 months.

This project aims at providing new evidence on the effects of labor market policies on career opportunities for individuals at the low end of the wage spectrum. Our policy focus is placed on minimum wages, a policy that has gained increasing prominence in the international policy debate around fair compensation and inclusive growth. We expect our empirical evidence to shed light on previously unexplored mechanisms and to guide policy-makers in the design of wage policies targeting the bottom of the wage distribution.

The candidate will carry out research on related topics at the intersection of the fields of labor economics and public finance. The research projects involve the use of micro data on firms and workers, and require strong coding skills (especially in STATA) and excellent knowledge of econometric analysis and quasi-experimental designs. Previous work on the employment and welfare effects of labor market and social insurance policies, using quasi-experimental methods, matched employer-employee administrative data and large-scale vacancy data will be especially appreciated.

Beyond participating to the PI’s project, the Post-Doc will be an integral part of the vibrant research community of Bocconi University which is home to many researchers in applied economics. We welcome applications from candidates holding or being in the process of obtaining a PhD in economics.

Application Instructions: Applicants should apply via our online application system at http://www.unibocconi.eu/faculty-postdoc by January 30, 2024.

At Boston College, the recently established Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society enhances multi-disciplinary, collaborative research and pedagogies that address critical societal issues in the areas of health, energy, and the environment. Established with a naming gift by BC Trustee Phil Schiller ’82 and his wife, Kim Gassett-Schiller, the Institute is housed in a brand-new integrated sciences building and connects faculty across the sciences, humanities, and professional schools. In last year’s inaugural faculty cohort, the Institute hired its first Core faculty members, who are globally recognized leaders of climate science, global sustainability, and renewable energy technology.

Now in the second phase of a multi-year faculty hiring initiative, the Institute seeks two visionary scholar-leaders for its second cohort of hires at the interface of health and climate. Faculty at the rank of Associate or Full Professor with well-developed research programs focused on understanding or reducing health risks affected by or arising from climate change or climate variability are encouraged to apply. Research programs may be focused at the basic, translational, clinical, or community level, and may be grounded in the sciences (biology, chemistry, computer science, or neuroscience), social sciences (sociology, political science, psychology or economics); or the professions (nursing or social work).

As recognized by the National Institute of Health’s Climate Change and Health Initiative, research at the intersection of health and climate change is crucial because climate drivers affect health outcomes through weather events such as droughts, wildfire, floods and extreme heat, and also through indirect exposure pathways such as environmental pollutants, food insecurity, and infectious diseases. Climate change elevates the risk of numerous threats to human health, with disproportionate impacts of illness and injury spread across a wide range of population groups and communities.

To address these growing challenges, the Institute seeks two collaborative senior scholars working across academic disciplines who will build integrated teams with Schiller Institute Core faculty and across the University. Institute faculty members are expected to strengthen the research profile of the university; stimulate collaborative, problem-focused research; develop, design, and participate in interdisciplinary curricula and co-curricular activities; build partnerships with leading institutions and organizations; and advance the results of Boston College applied research into the public sphere.

Diversity is a core value of Boston College, and the Schiller Institute is committed to advancing the University’s commitments to equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. Successful candidates for our faculty positions will demonstrate a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion in their research, teaching and service.

Applications should include a cover letter describing the applicant’s interest in the position and relevant experience, a curriculum vitae, and a 2-3-page research statement. Cover letters should explicitly incorporate a description of how the candidate's research connects health research with the impacts of climate change or variability. Please apply at https://apply.interfolio.com/135409

Nominations and inquiries can be made to Professor Laura J. Steinberg, Seidner Family Executive Director of the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society, at schiller.institute@bc.edu.

Review of applications will begin on December 11, 2023 and will continue until the positions are filled.

Equal Employment Opportunity Statement: Boston College conducts pre-employment background checks as part of the hiring process. Boston College is a Jesuit, Catholic university that strives to integrate research excellence with a foundational commitment to formative liberal arts education.

Project: Genetic and labor market influences on health over the life cycle (PRIN PNRR 2022 CUP: J53D23015120001) funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU

Research Project: Health inequality starts at conception and grows over the life cycle. These inequalities in mental and physical health arise due to a combination of nature and nurture, where genetics may either mitigate or reinforce the impact of the environment. This project combines methods from genetics and economics to study how the interplay between individuals’ genetic endowments and their environment (gene-environment interactions, GxE) affects health outcomes throughout the life span. We will focus on an extensive set of primary health outcomes (hospitalization, mental health, physical health, self-reported medical conditions, and biomarkers), as well as, on secondary outcomes (cognitive function, education, income, employment and working conditions). This project will identify the causal effect of the environment exploiting natural experiments, causality being key to devising policy. It will also examine the effects of such environmental shocks on a biological measure of health, epigenetic methylation, to understand which stressors induce a faster pace of aging and if there is scope to slow down senescing and health decline. Mapping how genes interact with the environment may have profound consequences for our understanding of innate and economic inequality. This project could help identify interventions that reduce health disparities and improve human wellbeing throughout the life course. This project is in collaboration with Elisabetta De Cao (University of Bologna), Pietro Biroli (University of Bologna), Silvia Mendolia (University of Torino). A second parallel post-doc position on the same project will be open contemporaneously by University of Bologna.

Application Requirements:

The ideal candidate should be interested and have experience in doing research in scientific areas related to research activities of the project. In particular: statistical analysis of micro-data with a focus on causal inference; proven experience in biostatistics or econometrics on topics related to labor economics, health economics, epidemiology, genetic predispositions, health inequality, intergenerational inequality.

The candidate is expected to be an experienced user of software and programming languages for statistical data analysis (data cleaning, data analysis) such as STATA, R, Python.

The post-doc researcher will work with Health Retirement Study (HRS) data and will visit multiple times during the project the Institute for North Caroline Population Center to access AddHealth data, and Princeton to access Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS).

Salary Range: € 66.000,00 gross, the amount is exempted from “Irpef tax” (income tax)

Degree required:

In order to participate in the competition, having a PhD or equivalent carried out in Italy or abroad, or in the course of being conferred (PhD student), is a desirable criterion.

Application instructions: Applicants should apply by submitting their complete package via our on-line application system, which can be found at www.unibocconi.eu/faculty-postdoc by 12 January 2024.

The aim of the TAXBUNCH project is to understand what causes the relatively weak labor supply response to the incentives in tax and benefits schedules, and the implications for welfare and optimal design of tax and benefit systems. The project will explore and disentangle explanations such as career concerns, information frictions, optimization barriers, credit constraints and the role of income volatility. The project will rely on extensive Norwegian registry data and modern microeconometric methods.

The aim of the LABFLEX project is to understand the causes and consequences of labor market flexibility. The project seeks to uncover determinants of workers’ job choices, dispersion in pay and non-pay job characteristics, and sources of wage inequality. The project will also focus on the roles of alternative work arrangements and collective bargaining. The project will rely on extensive Norwegian registry data and combine these data with targeted surveys, apply experimental and non-experimental/structural methods, and state-of-the-art econometrics.

Knowledge and experience with applied econometrics, labor and/or public economics and programming is required. Candidates with experience with estimation of structural models that may benefit and enrich the project(s) may also be considered.
