The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences of Kiel University together with the Kiel Institute for the World Economy invites applications for a

W 3-Professorship for Economics of Global Transformations 

to start at the earliest possible time or date.

The future job holder shall be responsible for the subject area Economics of Global Transformations in research and teaching.

The professorship will be filled according to the Jülich model (leave of absence model).

We are looking for an economist with a proven track-record and publications in leading international journals, as well as an excellent international research network. The successful candidate will spearhead the institute’s research on the simultaneous transformations that the global economy is facing. More specifically, we are seeking to hire a scholar whose work spans more than one research field relevant to the Economics of Global Transformations, for example trade and investment; migration and labor markets; regional disparities and income inequality; the economic and social effects of conflicts; issues of national and international political economy, as well as the consequences of technological and environmental change on economies and societies. 

Ideally, the candidate has interest and experience in leading a research group and translating research into policy advice. Experience in postgraduate program development or implementation is considered a plus.
