Beschreibung
We invite applications for Ph.D. student as well as Post-doc positions. The positions will be located at the Chair of Economic Policy, especially Competition Economics, at the University of Freiburg, Germany.

Job description:


Competition economics, using notably the tools from industrial organization and game theory as an economic framework, is relevant from an academic perspective but also from a policy or an industry perspective. By considering the strategic interactions between firms, consumers and policymakers from an economic perspective, competition economics encompasses, in particular, the study of sources and consequences of firms’ market power.

We are looking to hire highly-motivated, ambitious Post-docs and Ph.D. students. The Post-docs and Ph.D. students will be expected to conduct their own research in competition economics under the supervision of Prof. Germain Gaudin.

Requirements and further details:


Applicants should have excellent analytical skills and a first-rate command of advanced microeconomics and game theory. Strong understanding of industrial organization as well as regulatory and/or competition policy is highly-appreciated. Excellent econometric skills are also required when the applicant anticipates to rely on empirical methods. Good writing and communication skills in English are also expected.

For a Post-doc application:
  • We are looking for outstanding applicants with a Ph.D. in Industrial Organization, with a focus on applied theory and/or applications to digital markets.
  • Selected Post-docs will be offered a contract of up to three years (100% of a TV-L E13 position), with a flexible starting date. As part of their contracts, the Post-docs will have some teaching duties. Research work is expected to be in English; German is a plus.


For a Ph.D. student application:
  • We are looking for outstanding applicants with a M.Sc. degree (or equivalent) in economics. M.Sc. candidates who are close to finishing their studies are also welcomed to apply. The Ph.D. in competition economics represents an excellent complement to a M.Sc. in economics towards professional careers as, for instance, (economic) consultants, economists in public institutions, economists in regulatory/policy departments of private companies, or academic scholars.
  • Selected Ph.D. students will be offered a three-year contract (65% of a TV-L E13 position), with a flexible starting date. As part of their contracts, the Ph.D. students will have limited teaching duties. Research work is expected to be in English; German is a plus.


Application procedure:


The application package should include a motivation letter, CV, grade transcript of your highest degree earned (current M.Sc. transcripts for M.Sc. candidates), and an example of your own scientific writing if available (e.g., thesis or seminar paper). Reference letters are optional at this stage but can be submitted by the candidate as part of their application package. Applicants to the Post-doc position must submit at least 2 contacts as references within their CVs (names, positions, email addresses, phone numbers).

Funding will be granted for up to three years. The salary will be determined in accordance with TV-L E13.

Please submit your application in electronic form with the above-mentioned documents as one PDF file at: sek.gaudin@vwl.uni-freiburg.de. The object of your email and the title of the PDF document should refer both the reference number and to whether you apply to the Ph.D. student or the Post-doc positions.

The contract will run for up to three years. The salary will be determined in accordance with TV-L E13.
We will be particularly pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised here.
