The Munich International Stone Center for Inequality Research (ISI) conducts interdisciplinary and internationally oriented research on social and economic inequality, with a particular focus on wealth inequality. It brings together the expertise available at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, supports researchers at all career stages, and promotes exchange with leading research institutions in Germany and abroad.

We are looking for a Junior Research Group Leader in Wealth Inequality Research to join and strengthen our research team. The ideal candidate holds a PhD in a social science discipline, has begun to build a research portfolio on wealth and will use this position to substantially advance the field of wealth inequality research. This advance can come from a variety of angles, such as new empirical work, theoretical development, or contributions to data infrastructure. A strong candidate will also share the international and interdisciplinary orientation that is at the heart of our research center. Since this position comes with funding to build a research group, the proposed project should be ambitious in scope. The position is expected to run for an initial three-year period, with an option for extension upon review. The position should begin at some point in 2027.
