The Chair of Public Economics at the Department of Management, Technology and Economics at ETH Zurich invites applications for Postdoc positions in Public Economics.
The Public Economics group is associated with the KOF Swiss Economic Institute (
www.kof.ethz.ch). Its members work in close collaboration with the Center for Economic Research (
www.cer.ethz.ch) and the Center for Energy Policy and Economics (
www.cepe.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich. The group`s main focus is on theoretical and empirical research in the area of public economics such as corporate taxation, social security, fiscal federalism and behavioral public economics, for instance. The research strategy involves normative as well as political economy analyses.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Economics (or should be near completion of the dissertation) and should have shown interest in the topics of the group. The preferred candidate has demonstrated her or his potential to conduct high-quality research, ideally by having some papers under revision or even accepted for publication in refereed international journals. The successful applicant is expected to independently conduct academic and policy-relevant research and also to contribute to ongoing research projects of the group. Excellent command of English is required. We offer internationally competitive working conditions. Living conditions in Zurich are excellent (Zurich is consistently ranked as one of the world`s premier cities in terms of living standards). The starting date is flexible.
