The Department of Economics at Lund University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow in Economics or Finance.

Basis of Assessment
Scholarly proficiency is the main requirement for employment. Applicants must hold a PhD in Economics or related discipline (e.g. Finance or Econometrics). The degree must not have been awarded more than three years ago (unless the applicant has been on parental leave of leave due to illness). Applications will also be accepted from persons who have not yet completed their PhD, but this condition must be satisfied at the time of employment. Applicants must show a high degree of research expertise as manifested in the quality of their PhD dissertation and other publications. The application must include a research plan that shows the applicant's own ideas for research.

In addition to the above, the following set of criteria will be applied in the assessment of candidates:

• Relevance and viability of the research plan.
• International experience.
• Other results and distinctions that attest to the applicant's ability to do research.
• Ability to engage and inform society at large about research.

Evaluation of the applicants will take their experience, knowledge and other personal qualities into consideration. The applicant's ability to use their skills and experience to strengthen and supplement existing research activities within the School of Economics and Management will also be considered.
