• Public economics, and its philosophy, ID No. 9057

The contract for this position is for 4 years. The University of Vienna will be starting a new Master’s program in Philosophy and Economics. The Department of Economics seeks applicants with a research interest in Public Economics who are able and willing to offer courses that are of interest to students in this new program. One area of interest is concerned with the question of to what extent public interests (such as good health care or education that is affordable to all people in the society) can be served by agents with private interests in an environment governed by market principles. To guide decisions one may use economic principles of efficiency and/or considerations in the realm of ethics and political philosophy. Other areas of interest are the foundation of rational choice and its critiques, and the history of economic thought.

Applicants should have completed (or should be close to completing) a PhD in economics. Knowledge of German is an asset, but not required. The University of Vienna is an equal opportunity employer and aims at increasing the number of female faculty members. Therefore, it particularly encourages qualified women to apply. Information about the Department of Economics can be found on the website at http://econ.univie.ac.at. We will also be interviewing at the EEA job market in Naples, December 6 - 7, 2018.
