The key fields of interest are public economics; health education and labour economics; demography; and urban economics.
The candidate must have:
- PhD in Economics (or near completion)
- Strong empirical skills and experience using large linked administrative datasets and/or large-scale surveys
- Experience and interest in labour/health/education/urban related topics
- Highly competent using econometric software, such as Stata, R, etc.
The successful candidate will be expected to work in a team-based setting and publish high-quality applied research in labour, health, education economics and related fields. You will be working closely with the Institute Director, Professor Gail Pacheco and a core group of economists. Active participation in workshops and conferences is expected, as is the building of local and international research connections.
