TSE-IAST

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

In February 2015, Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) launched the Digital Chair Jean-Jacques Laffont to promote research on the impact of the digital technology in society.

Within this initiative, we invite applications for three-year post-doctoral positions starting September 1, 2016 (earlier starting dates can be envisaged for those already holding a Ph.D.)

Researchers (in the social and behavioral sciences and in economy) with interests related to the impact of digital technology in areas such as industrial organisation, competition policy, education, finance, culture, health or society in general, are encouraged to apply.

We seek candidates with a strong research background in their own discipline, but able to develop research projects drawing on IAST’s substantial interdisciplinary resources, including particularly the proximity of strong groups in economics. We are open to a variety of research methods, including theory, field and laboratory experiments, observational field work, and the analysis of large secondary data sets.
PhD should be completed by the date of the appointment. Knowledge of French is NOT required.

Full application (CV, cover letter, 3 reference letters) should be sent to digital.chair@TSE-fr.eu by December 31, 2015. Any query should be sent to eunate.mayor@TSE-fr.eu.
