The Inter-University Centre on Risk, Economic Policies, and Employment (CIRPÉE; www.cirpee.org) and the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration (CIRRIS; www.cirris.ulaval.ca) will have an opening for a joint Research Associate position, starting June 2016. Primary criteria are the quality of the applicant's research and interest/experience in labor economics and health economics.

The selected applicant will be considered as a scholar of CIRRIS (the official employer) but will be encouraged to submit an application to the Department of Economics as adjunct professor and to participate in the teaching program of the economics department at Université Laval if mutually agreed. Starting salary is expected between 60000$ CDN and 70000$ CDN. Startup research funding is also provided.

Applicants should have received a Ph.D. within the last 3 years (or expected by June 2016). Appointment will be for an initial two-year period and can be extended for up to two additional years based on satisfactory evaluations.
