PostDoc/Assistant Professor position (fixed-term)

Stuttgart

FULL TIME

October 12, 2024

In the lab, we work on a range of cross-cutting economic topics such as inequality, fairness and justice views, individual and political decision-making, and (almost) all aspects of economic development. We use state-of-the-art quantitative methods, ranging from quasi-experimental and experimental methods, including field, lab, and survey experiments, to machine learning. We also specialize in uncovering new insights from unconventional data sources, especially geospatial data derived from contemporary satellites and historical sources.
We currently have ten members in the lab and are looking for a new team member with a strong drive to develop and advance their research agenda and actively contribute to our lab activities. We are committed to creating a productive research environment, providing ample support for publishing in top-tier journals, including research assistants, conference funding, and an independent budget. With our strong regional and international networks, you will have various opportunities for research stays and (international) collaborations.
Your Tasks:
  • Conduct independent research in the lab's core areas using experimental or quasi-experimental methods.
  • Publish in high-ranking international peer-reviewed journals.
  • Present research results at international conferences, workshops, and seminars.
  • Apply for and manage third-party funded projects independently or collaboratively.
  • Establish research collaborations.
  • Participate in workshop organization.
  • Teach (a moderate load of 2 x 90 mins per week) with flexibility in course design (e.g., seminars), scheduling/ blocking, and load reductions for thesis supervision. German language skills are a plus and required by the end of the second year.
Your Profile:
  • An outstanding Ph D in Economics or a related quantitative field (e.g., Data Science, Political Science/Public Policy).
  • Excellent knowledge of methods (e.g., applied econometrics and/or machine learning) and/or experimental methods (e.g., lab and field experiments and/or survey design).
  • Interest in topics in one or more of the following areas: economic inequality, concepts of fairness and justice, political economy, and/or development economics.
  • Ability to work independently, good organizational skills, and high motivation.
  • Very good command of English, both written and spoken.
  • International experience is an advantage.
Our team values a supportive and family-friendly working environment. We value clear communication, and our streamlined application process ensures that candidates can engage directly with faculty early in the hiring process. More information on the lab can be found at https://www.ivr.uni-stuttgart.de/vwl/forschung/PEGDev. Please feel free to email Dietmar Fehr (dietmar.fehr@ivr.uni-stuttgart.de) or Richard Bluhm (richard.bluhm@ivr.uni-stuttgart.de) with any questions.
The position is 100% FTE, for 6 years (3 plus 3 after an interim evaluation). Although this is not a tenure-track position, it provides significant opportunities for career growth, including active mentoring. The pay scale will be E13 TV-L or A13 (LBes GBW) if the personal and professional requirements are met. The University of Stuttgart aims to increase the share of women and explicitly encourages women to apply. Full-time positions are generally divisible. Disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be given preference. Employment is carried out by the central administration.
Please send your application – cover letter, CV, job market paper, and min. two reference letters – by October 31, 2024, to sekretariat.mikro@ivr.uni-stuttgart.de with cc dietmar.fehr@ivr.uni-stuttgart.de and richard.bluhm@ivr.uni-stuttgart.de. Note that the starting date is as soon as possible, and we expect to conduct interviews/flyouts before December 2024.
