Featured on INOMICS: W2 University Professorship (f/m/d) in Economics, with a focus on Sustainability #Econsky

W2 University Professorship (f/m/d) in Economics, with a focus on Sustainability

We are seeking a candidate with an outstanding international track record in one of two possible areas: labor and social security (e.g., health or long-term care, labor markets of the future, unemployment and social insurance) or environmental economics. The candidate conducts empirical research using microdata and state-of-the-art methods of causal inference and publishes their research findings in the leading international journals in the field. The professorship is affiliated with the Department of Economics. We expect the candidate to be willing to contribute to the Paderborn Research Center for Sustainable Economy (PARSEC) and to collaborate on major collaborative grant proposals with members of the department, PARSEC, and the faculty. PARSEC brings together and actively develops faculty-wide collaborations in the areas of sociocultural, ecological, and economic sustainability in research, teaching, and knowledge transfer. Experience in securing and carrying out competitive third-party funded projects (preferably from the German Research Foundation, DFG) is an asset.
