Postdoctoral Researcher/ Research Group Lead (f/m/d) in Fiscal Policy

The Walter Eucken Institute is a center of excellence for basic research on constitutional economics and ordoliberal thinking. As an independent institution, the Institute conducts economic and social science research in the tradition of the Freiburg School of Ordoliberal Economics. Thereby our main question is how our market-based competitive order can be maintained and further developed.

We aim to bring new economic ideas and ordoliberal thinking into debates – in academia as well as in public. With activities such as lectures, conferences or our social media appearances we would like to promote a broad understanding of economic interrelationships and the social market economy.

The research groups of the Walter Eucken Institute focus on three areas: 1) History of Economic Thought, 2) Behavioral Economics and 3) Economic Policy and Fiscal Policies.

We are looking for:

• a postdoctoral researcher/research group lead in the area of fiscal policy

• a full-time position (100%),

• starting date: immediately or later

Your responsibilities include:  

• Strategic and content-related further development of the research program of the Walter Eucken Institute together with the Institute Director

• Acquisition and implementation of third-party funded projects in cooperation with doctoral students

• Within the scope of the assigned tasks, there is the opportunity for own scientific work, which serves the own scientific qualification.

What we offer:

• Research and consulting projects of high political relevance
• An interesting and diverse area of responsibilities
• Collaboration with a highly motivated team

Application.
