Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Department of Economics, Lund University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Economics. Lund University is one of the largest universities in Scandinavia and the Department of Economics is a well-established research and teaching institution with a full-scale postgraduate program. Lund is an old attractive university town 10 minutes from Malmö and 40 minutes from Copenhagen.
We wish to fill the position no later than September 2017, although there is room for some flexibility. The position is a six year tenure-track and comes with a low teaching load and a competitive salary package. Decision on tenure is taken during the fifth year in accordance with Swedish legislation and University regulations. Salary takes the form of a tax-exempt scholarship which roughly equals the net income at the level of a full professor.
The position is primarily open for applicants with any research background in economics. Research potential is our key selection criterion for the advertised position. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research suitable for publication in leading or highly ranked field and general economics journals.
Applicants should hold a recent PhD, or be close to finishing their thesis. Interested candidates should email their applications to application@nek.lu.se no later than November 27, 2016. The application should include a detailed CV with a list of publications and working papers, one job market paper, and a cover letter describing your future research plans. An additional publication/working paper may be included in the application, but it should be made clear which paper is considered to have most merit. Two letters of recommendations should be sent directly by the referees to application@nek.lu.se
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed at the ASSA Chicago meeting in January 2017 or at the department in Lund.
