Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Global Priorities Institute (GPI), in partnership with the Department of Economics, offers Research Fellowship openings for both Postdoctoral and Senior Research Fellows.

You will conduct advanced research in economics. You will work with the economics team at GPI develop research projects directly relevant to GPI’s research agenda that intersect with your own areas of interest and expertise, and you will spend at least 50% of your time working on these projects. The role requires no teaching load and only minor supervision responsibilities, although teaching may be arranged if the fellow would like to do so.

Candidates can apply for either a 2-year or a 4-year fixed-term position (with a possibility of extension), though applicants to one position will be considered for all open economics fellowship positions. We welcome applications from researchers who might prefer to complete a one- or two-year position at GPI before starting a new job elsewhere or returning to an existing position. Visa support is also available for successful applicants from overseas. We particularly encourage applications from women, black and ethnic minority candidates, as these groups are underrepresented in economics.
