185136 - Teaching Fellow (Departmental Lecturer) in Economics

Grade 8: £49,119 - £58,265 annum (with a discretionary range to £63,489 annum)

The Department of Economics is seeking to employ a Teaching Fellow (Departmental Lecturer-TF/DL) in Economics. The post is tenable for three years, and the successful candidate must be available to start no later than the autumn of 2026, as the role is currently vacant.

The principal task of the Departmental Lecturer will be to work with academic colleagues in the Department of Economics and with professional colleagues within the Saïd Business School to develop teaching materials for the MSc in Applied Financial Economics (MAFE) course. The MAFE is a new hybrid (part on-line, part in-person) degree which is due to take its first cohort of students in 26-27. Much of the academic content, which covers topics in micro, macro and financial econometrics, already exists and is currently being taught on the highly successful MSc in Financial Economics (MFE). However, the content of the MFE, which has been developed for in-person teaching, needs to be adapted to the requirements of high-quality on-line learning. It is this adaptation which will form the bulk of the postholder’s responsibility in the first two years in the post. Afterwards, the postholder will be expected to continuously maintain and review the materials for the MAFE and will also be required to deliver lectures and supervision at other programmes within the Economics Department.

The teaching and supervision load will be 336 ‘stint points’, which is the unit in which teaching and supervision contributions are measured. The total amount of teaching and supervision must not normally exceed this without the approval of the Head of Department.

The closing date for applications is midnight UTC on Monday, 20th April 2026 and applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the closing date. Interviews are expected to take place online soon after the closing date.

We welcome applications from individuals from all backgrounds, including those under-represented within higher education. No applicant or members of staff shall be unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

This position uniquely bridges academic research and policy‑making within a central bank. The successful candidate will have access to confidential, high‑quality granular data, collaborate with a community of over 100 PhD economists, and work from a dedicated desk at the Bank of Canada’s Ottawa headquarters. The role also offers strong visibility for research outputs and opportunities to present at internal seminars and external conferences.

Desired post-doc profile

· Interested in systemic risks, applied econometrics, empirical work, agent-based modelling, financial stability, macroprudential policies, banking, non-bank financial institutions

· Interested in modelling and research opportunities in a central bank who can benefit from access to confidential Canadian granular data in their research

· Willing to develop their experience bringing research to the applied policy world

· Eager to learn about central banks modelling toolkit in systemic risks

What expectations?

· Spend about half of their time on completing their own research

· Spend the other half on guided modelling and applied research with Bank of Canada PhD economists aimed at an academic publication with an applied policy companion paper

· Teach at least one class (36 hours/12 weeks) at uOttawa to be determined given the candidate’s expertise.

Possible applied project at the Bank of Canada, depending on the profile of the candidate

1. Develop the modelling of non-bank financial institutions (e.g. pension funds, insurance sector…) to be integrated into the Bank’s system-wide risk simulation toolkit

Incorporating non‑bank financial institutions into a system‑wide stress‑testing framework, alongside vulnerabilities such as liquidity, firesales, redemption, and counterparty risks across banks, households, pension funds, and insurers, would improve identification of when the Canadian financial system could generate spillovers and inform policies to mitigate those risks. Although pension funds and insurers are typically viewed as financial stabilizers due to their long‑term funding and risk‑pooling roles, they can become sources of amplification depending on their interconnectedness with other financial institutions

2. Expand the scenarios simulation model to improve reverse stress-testing capabilities

Reverse stress testing identifies the shocks, macro‑financial scenarios, and contagion channels that could generate system‑wide stress severe enough to damage the real economy. Unlike traditional stress testing, which evaluates resilience to a given scenario, it focuses on the conditions that would cause failures in the financial system. Machine‑learning methods could help identify the most harmful scenarios for the financial system.

3. Integrate a network contagion modelling into the Bank’s system-wide risk simulation toolkit

Interconnections can propagate risks throughout the financial system. For instance, cross-ownership of mutual funds by banks, lines of credit to non-banks, or households' deposits across institutions are network effects we want to better understand and integrate.

4. Develop a confidence channel for contagion across economic agents and financial markets and integrate it into the Bank’s system-wide risk simulation toolkit

Perceived confidence channels can amplify contagion to the financial system, generating for instance liquidity hoarding mechanisms among various financial market participants.

5. Explore the development of an agent-based model for system-wide stress-testing leveraging AI agentic tools

The next generation of agent-based model may lend itself to the use of agentic AI to simulate contagion behaviors.

What does the financial stability department of the Bank of Canada do?

The financial stability department monitors developments in the Canadian financial system, conducting analysis and research to assess vulnerabilities and risks for the Canadian financial system and to inform macroprudential policies. The department supports the Bank’s crisis management mandate—including provision of liquidity to financial institutions facing stress—and the Bank’s role as resolution authority for domestic designated financial market infrastructures. Research in the department contributes to the deepening of the understanding of financial stability and financial system issues.

The successful candidate would interact with the Modelling and Analysis of Risks team, a departmental hub composed of PhD researchers dedicated to developing and applying modelling innovations that deepen our understanding of financial stability risks, especially systemic risks.

The Department of Economics of the Central European University (CEU) invites applications for the position of a Postdoctoral Researcher for the duration of two years (extension may be possible).

We are looking for an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to join our project on “Social Responsibility in Markets and Beyond.” In this project, we will combine behavioral economic theory, experiments, and survey data to study the potential role of socially responsible individuals in markets as well as in collective decisions more generally. We will theoretically investigate the impact of individuals on socially relevant equilibrium outcomes – such as externalities – different types of socially responsible preferences, and how both of these affect individual actions; and we will explore empirically via surveys and experiments what impact individuals believe they have, what determines these beliefs, and identify individuals’ moral preferences or views, and measure how these affect their actual behaviors.

The positions will be based at the Department of Economics at Central European University for the duration of two years. The position will start August 1, 2026 or possibly earlier. The Principal Investigator for this project is Marc Kaufmann. On the theory side, the work is joint with Botond Kőszegi, while the empirical work partially overlaps with other researchers studying (mis)beliefs in economics, including Maite Deambrosi, Christoph Drobner, and Adam Szeidl.

Qualifications

• Completed or are close to obtaining a PhD in economics or a related field.

• Expertise and research background in either behavioral economic theory or experimental economics including lab, field, or online experiments.

• Experience with or interest in text analysis / machine learning / use of GenAI tools in research an advantage but not required.

• Evidence of the capacity to prepare excellent publications.

• Commitment to high quality research.

• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively.

• Effective written and verbal communication and time management skills.

• Fluency in English.

What to expect

• You will conduct innovative and high-quality research on social responsibility broadly defined and (mis)beliefs in social questions.

• You will have a central role in all aspects of the research process, from model building and/or experiments to the drafting and publishing of academic papers.

• You will be part of a department that regularly delivers high-impact research published in top international academic journals.

• You will have time dedicated to advancing your own research agenda.

• You are encouraged to contribute to the overall activities of the Department and attend seminars.

• You will be encouraged to gain experience in the supervision of research assistants and students.

• The position is based in Vienna and requires regular presence at the department.

Compensation

We offer a competitive yearly gross salary of about EUR68,000.

How to apply

Applications should include a cover letter, two letters of reference, a curriculum vitae, and a published or unpublished research paper. Applications should be submitted through the econjobmarket.org website.

Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.

The Department of Economics of the Central European University (CEU) invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher for the duration of two years.

We are looking for an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to join our project on “Forecasting with Feedback.” In this project, we will combine applied economic theory, macroeconomic modeling, and econometric techniques to study the properties of forecasts that are subject to feedback. The case in point is inflation forecasts produced by a central bank, which play a dual role. They are meant to provide an accurate prediction of realized inflation over some horizon but, at the same time, they also serve as an input for setting monetary policy. Feedback occurs because monetary policy affects future inflation --- the outcome that the forecast is meant to predict. Our existing work on this problem is summarized by this research paper. In future research we plan to i) extend this model in various directions so that it can be taken to the data in a more disciplined and realistic way; ii) relate the implications of the model to the literature on monetary policy regime changes in the U.S.; iii) collect data from various other central banks around the world to test the observable implications of the model more generally.

The position will be based at the Department of Economics at Central European University for the duration of two years. The position will start August 1, 2026. The Principal Investigator for this project is Robert Lieli. The work is joint with Augusto Nieto Barthaburu (Universidad Nacional de Tucuman) while Katrin Rabitsch (Vienna University of Economics and Business) provides advice on macroeconomic modeling.

Qualifications

• PhD in economics or a related field, or close to completion.

• Expertise and research background in either forecasting, macroeconomics (monetary policy and inflation), or macroeconometrics.

• Evidence of the capacity to prepare excellent publications.

• Commitment to high quality research.

• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively.

• Effective written and verbal communication and time management skills.

• Fluency in English.

What to expect

• You will conduct innovative and high-quality research on forecasting processes subject to feedback, particularly inflation forecasting in central banks.

• You will have a central role in all aspects of the research process, from model building, data collection and analysis to the drafting and publishing of academic papers.

• You will be part of a department that regularly delivers high-impact research published in top international academic journals.

• You will have time available to advancing your own research agenda.

• You are encouraged to contribute to the overall activities of the Department and attend seminars.

• You will be encouraged to gain experience in the supervision of research assistants and students.

• The position is based in Vienna and requires regular presence at the department.

Compensation

We offer a competitive yearly gross salary of about 68,000 EUR/year.

How to apply

Applications should include a cover letter, two letters of reference, a curriculum vitae, and a published or unpublished research paper. Applications should be submitted through the econjobmarket.org website.

Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.

For further information about this position, please contact Judit Lafferthon (lafferthonj@ceu.edu).

The University of St Andrews Business School invites applications for the position of Senior Lecturer or Reader in Economics and Public Policy. The successful candidate will join the Business School at an exciting time. The newly launched School is the largest in the University, building on the University's rich heritage and the legacy of the leading Schools of Economics and Finance and Management, whose merger created it.

Postdoctoral Associate (SCALES Program) POSITION SUMMARY:

The SCALES (Scholars for Climate and Advanced Leadership in Environment and Sustainability) Postdoctoral Fellows Program at Duke University seeks early-career scholars committed to interdisciplinary research, education, and leadership in climate, environment, and sustainability. This position supports a faculty-mentored research agenda focused on climate risk, resilience planning, and adaptation finance. The Fellow will collaborate with faculty mentors on an interdisciplinary project, contribute to climate-focused teaching and engagement, and participate in cohort-based professional development across the university.

ABOUT THE SCALES POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS PROGRAM:

The SCALES Postdoctoral Fellows Program is a newly launched cohort-based initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in climate and sustainability research and education. Fellows join a vibrant interdisciplinary community, participate in professional development activities, and collaborate across departments to advance Duke's Climate Commitment. The program emphasizes faculty-mentored research, teaching innovation, and public engagement, providing Fellows with resources and networks to launch impactful careers. To learn more about the SCALES Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, visit our program page: https://climate.duke.edu/what-were-doing/scales-postdoctoral-fellows-program/

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

RESEARCH COLLABORATION:

The SCALES Postdoctoral Fellow will co-develop and lead a faculty-mentored interdisciplinary research project addressing a significant climate, environment, or sustainability challenge. A final research proposal and budget will be developed jointly with the mentoring team following the Fellow's arrival, allowing flexibility for the Fellow to shape the project's direction and methods.

The preliminary description of the research project is as follows:

The Fellow will lead an interdisciplinary research project titled "Beyond Avoided Damages: Linking Risk, Behavior, and Finance in Climate Resilience Planning." The project examines how flood risk and resilience investments influence economic behavior, real estate markets, and municipal fiscal capacity, and how these dynamics can be leveraged to value and finance climate resilience at scale.

We seek a Fellow with a strong background in applied economics or finance who is eager to collaborate with engineers, climate scientists, economists, and policy scholars. Working with faculty mentors and partners through RESILE (Risk Science for Climate Resilience), CIRCAD (Center for Innovation in Risk, Catastrophes and Decisions), the Nicholas Institute, and the Economics department, the Fellow will: - Lead empirical analyses linking flood risk, resilience investments, and urban economic outcomes;

- Examine fiscal and financial feedback, including impacts on property values, tax revenues, and insurance markets; and

- Collaborate on the development of an integrated modeling and decision-support framework that links risk, behavioral, and finance.

TEACHING & ENGAGEMENT:

The Fellow will contribute to Duke's Climate & Sustainability Fluency Framework through curricular innovation, student mentorship, and applied engagement. Teaching responsibilities will emphasize module development and co-teaching rather than independent course ownership.

Specifically, the Fellow will develop and pilot a cross-listed module on Valuing and Financing Climate Resilience, with mentorship from the Department of Economics and collaboration across Trinity, Nicholas, Pratt, Fuqua, Sanford Schools. The Fellow will also mentor students through Climate+ and Bass Connections projects and co-design applied workshops with RESILE and the Nicholas Institute to engage municipal and industry partners in resilience valuation and decision-support applications. These activities will advance SCALES's goal of cultivating climate scholars who connect research with real-world impact.
