The funds for this post are available until December 2021 (included) in a first instance.

The Faculty of Economics seeks applications for two post-doctoral candidates starting as soon as January 2020 and no later than September 2020. The posts are attached to Dr Koen Jochmans’s ERC project on inference in micro econometric models (MiMo). We are primarily looking for theoretical micro-econometricians with interest in panel data models and the econometrics of networks. Broader interests are welcomed. Excellent programming skills in Matlab and/or Stata would be a valuable asset.

The candidates will be active members of the Economics Faculty and of the Econometrics group in particular. The group is comprised of Richard Smith, Andrew Harvey, Oliver Linton, Alexei Onatskiy, Koen Jochmans, and Debopam Bhattacharya.

Successful candidates who have been awarded their PhD will be employed on University Grade 7 for Research Associates (Fellowships), with the salary starting at £32,816 to £40,322 per annum, and those without a PhD by the starting date will be employed on University Grade 5 for Research Assistants starting at £26,715 to £30,942 per annum. Research Associates would also have the possibility of joining one of the colleges of the University of Cambridge.
