The Department of Economics at the University of Bern invites applications for a position of Assistant Professor of Econometrics (Tenure Track).

Applications from all fields in econometrics are invited. Candidates must have a PhD in Economics or an equivalent degree completed at the start date of the appointment.

The main criterion for selection is academic excellence. The successful candidate must provide evidence of high quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to publications in top general interest and top field journals. She/he will teach econometric courses at the Bachelor and Master level. Ideally, she/he will offer a course on big data analysis and machine learning.

The Department encourages and supports the candidate in the acquisition of third-party research funding (e.g. ERC, SNF). We offer a highly competitive salary, which is fixed according to the regulations of the Canton of Bern. The University of Bern is an equal opportunity employer. Women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
