The Department of Economics and Business Economics at Aarhus University invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship (potentially assistant professorship) starting in the fall of 2024.

Research Fields: Econometrics, finance, and economics with a focus on methodology and applications in energy, climate, and environmental economics.

The position is funded by a major grant by the energy trading company InCommodities to establish the new research CoRE: Center for Research in Energy: Economics and Markets, which will focus on energy, climate, and environmental economics and econometrics. Finance with a focus on climate and sustainability will be considered as well.

The duration of the post-doctoral fellowship is 2-4 years and can in special cases be combined with an assistant professor position, yielding extra research time. We offer favourable conditions regarding research facilities, data access, time devoted to research, travel support, etc. For non-Danish researchers, a favourable tax-scheme exists. There are limited teaching responsibilities in connection with the position.

The Department of Economics and Business Economics has around 130 faculty members covering the fields of Accounting, Finance, Logistics and Operations Research, Economics, Econometrics, Business Analytics and other fields. The department faculty is international, and the working language is English. The department hosts several research centers providing an active research environment and the department has several seminar series with ample influx of visiting researchers. The Department of Economics and Business Economics services several undergraduate and master-level programs. The PhD program has an annual intake of around 15 to 20 students. More information is available at www.econ.au.dk.

Interviews will be conducted through the European Job Market virtual meetings held from the 11th to the 14th of December 2023, and candidates may subsequently be invited to give a job talk at Aarhus University starting January 2024.

Application Procedure: Your application should include a cover letter (stating the motivation for the application), CV, publication list, names of 3 referees, and your job market paper. Optionally, you may submit additional papers and research and teaching statements. Applicants should have a PhD degree before taking up the position. Complete applications should be received by November 24 2023 to be guaranteed full consideration. All candidates must apply online at http://www.econjobmarket.org.
