Postdocs in Applied Micro-Econometrics

The two positions are regular postdoc positions at the EEF Department for the period until August 2022, funded by a grant from the German Science Foundation (DFG). They involve carrying out applied micro-econometric research in labour economics and/or related fields. The research may include applications of modern artificial-intelligence methods, for example to study the assignment of active labour market policies. Alternative examples of fitting research topics are the study of biomarkers and the analysis of randomised controlled trials.

The research will be carried out in close collaboration with Professor Gerard van den Berg in Groningen. For at least one of the postdoc positions, part of the research is envisaged to be carried out in collaboration with Professor Gesine Stephan and colleagues of the IAB Institute in Nuremberg which is the research and data institute of the German Federal Employment Agency.
