Two Assistant Professorships in Macroeconomics

The Department of Economics at the School of Law and Economics at the University of Mannheim invites applications to fill the positions of

· (1) Assistant Professor of Applied Macroeconomics (W1)

· (2) Assistant Professor of Money and Finance (W1)

The Department seeks outstanding candidates (1) in all subfields of macroeconomics, (2) with a research focus in monetary economics or macro-finance. A close cooperation with the researchers working in the department is expected. Teaching responsibilities include an appropriate participation in the education of students of economics. Participation in the training of doctoral students within the Mannheim Center for Doctoral Studies in Economics is expected.

The holder of the position shall acquire additional qualifications for the position of a full university professor in accordance with the catalogue of duties as laid down in the service regulations and the subject-specific requirements associated with the position by independently performing research and teaching duties in his/her field of specialization.

The conditions for an appointment are stipulated in section § 51 (2) and (3) of the Act on Higher Education of the Land of Baden-Württemberg (LHG). In addition to a completed university degree and proof of an outstanding doctorate, pedagogical aptitude and the ability to assume the position of assistant professor based on additional academic achievements are expected. If the general conditions are met, the position is filled for a period of up to six years within the framework of a civil service contract. If it can be expected that the holder of the assistant professorship will complete the final evaluation on a particularly outstanding level, a simplified recruiting procedure for the transfer to a tenured professorship in accordance with section 48 (1) 6 LHG will be sought, subject to budgetary approval.

We also invite applications for two postdoc positions in macroeconomics. The first is a 3-year position in the area of family macro.

The candidate will be expected to work with Prof. Moritz Kuhn and Prof. Christian Bayer (University of Bonn) on a project funded by the German Research Foundation on the wage and employment effects of technological and organizational change. The project will have a strong empirical focus using newly compiled long-run data. The position is for three years.
