YOUR TASKS
The Department of Economics at Ghent University (Belgium) has a vacant position for post-doctoral researcher (‘post-doctoral assistant’) in the area. We are seeking a highly motivated economist with a strong background in international macroeconomics, international trade, and econometrics to join our academic team. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in microeconometric methodologies, particularly in applying them to macroeconomic issues, including sectoral production networks and firm-level strategic interactions. The successful applicant should be prepared to contribute to cutting-edge research on the effects of industrial policies, network econometrics, and strategic competition between firms, and have a strong commitment to teaching and publishing in top-tier journals.
The Department encourages international candidates to apply. The working language in most department activities and in our master programme in economics is English.
At least 70% of your assignment will be spent on academic research, targeted at publications in highly ranked peer-reviewed scientific journals.
You fulfill other tasks, depending on your profile and own interests. This may include:
contribution to education at the Bachelor's or Master's level, e.g. as a (co-)teacher for a course related to your expertise, or as a supervisor of students in the context of exercises, and their Bachelor's or Master's thesis.
support for initiatives to strengthen research in the department, e.g. through the guidance of PhD students, or through the acquisition of external research funding.
