Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Center for Experimental & Applied Economics at the University of Delaware seeks a qualified candidate as a Postdoctoral Researcher for a period up to three years. The selected candidate will contribute to experimental economics research in a project funded by the National Science Foundation.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to co-author several publications, participate in professional conferences and engage with community stakeholders and other agencies working on climate adaptation strategies in coastal communities. The position offers a competitive salary that is commensurate with qualifications and experience, including an attractive benefit package.

Applicants are expected to have strong training and experience in experimental and behavioral economics. A PhD in economics or applied economics is required. Strong training in experimental design and interest in community-engaged research is highly desirable. Strong writing and communication skills are critical.
