Job Utrecht University, Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance - Professor of Quantitative Economics, in particular Econometrics (1,0 fte)

Utrecht University School of Economics (USE) expects proven evidence of interest in and experience with applied research in multidisciplinary economics in general and USE’s research profile in particular. That is, candidates should have the ambition to add value and create synergy within (at least one of) USE’s research programs: “The Multidisciplinary Economics of Firms, Sectors and Markets” or “The Multidisciplinary Economics of the Welfare State”. The former focuses typically on issues like market entry and exit, competition, cooperation and regulation, mergers and acquisitions, internationalisation, changes in firm and sector structures and the evolution of networks. The latter focuses on key elements of the welfare state such as ageing, health care, income distribution, distribution of decision-making powers, and labour market and social security arrangements.

Candidates are expected to have broad knowledge in the field of econometrics based on a relevant doctorate degree. Also, candidates should have an excellent research record, demonstrated by among others publications in international (top tier) journals as well as proven acquisition power. Obviously, candidates have a strong drive to further develop teaching and research in quantitative methods and econometrics, embedded in the multidisciplinary economics perspective of USE.
