The position
The position is a one-year post doc, with the option for a second year, in the field of macro-labor.

Much of the project is quantitative in nature, so good computational skills are an asset. The objective is to co-author high quality journal articles. There is no teaching associated with the position.

The position starts September 1, 2021.

Salary: 40 000 SEK per month (before tax).
