The candidate’s profile focuses on applied – empirical – research in areas that match the department’s macroeconomic research interests, such as macroeconomic growth, resilience and sustainability, monetary and fiscal policy in an international context, and European integration. We expect the candidate to significantly contribute to the department’s research profile and connect to two broader research themes at Maastricht University that focus on “Europe” and “Resilience and Sustainability” respectively.

We offer a dynamic and challenging job in an internationally oriented organisation. The candidate will be part of the School’s international network of top universities and renowned scholars. MILE has strong collaborations with other institutes and departments at Maastricht University and elsewhere.

We expect teaching to be research-based and research to be relevant in a broad sense: contributing to advancing academic knowledge as well as to being policy relevant and creating societal impact. We are looking for a senior economist, who is also willing and able to fulfil senior administrative/managerial tasks. The department strives for unity in diversity, is open to innovative and non-orthodox views and to a multidisciplinary approach. Teamwork and good citizenship are highly valued.
