The Department of Macro, International and Labour Economics (MILE) at the School of Business and Economics (SBE) of Maastricht University is looking for a senior economist in the area of Macroeconomics, with a particular focus on Monetary Economics. Preferably, the candidate should have a profile focusing on empirical research in areas that match the department’s macroeconomic research interests, such as macroeconomic growth, 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 in a Globalizing World” and “Sustainable and Resilient Economies”.

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.

A suitable candidate should have an excellent track record of publishing in international academic journals, teaching and acquiring independent research funding. We expect the candidate to be able to play a leading role in the further development of the domain of monetary economics and macroeconomics within MILE, SBE and Maastricht University at large in all dimensions: research, teaching - including post-graduate programs -, acquiring funding and the creation of societal impact. 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. We expect any candidate to create significant synergies and positive externalities, both within the department and SBE.
