About This Role
Overview
We are inviting applications for a Post-doctoral Associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi from individuals who are within their first 5 years since receiving their PhD, or will soon receive a PhD in Economics focusing on Macro, Labor and/or Development Economics.
The appointment is for 2 years and will begin September 1, 2026, subject to final budget approval and UAE visa acquisition by the prospective post-doctoral candidate.
The post-doctoral associate will spend half their time on independent research, and half their time on collaborative research with Professor Pauline Corblet and Professor Samreen Malik.
The collaborative research will be on labor and education economics with a particular focus on structural models tied with labor market surveys to study the role of beliefs in the labor market in both developed and developing economies.
We seek a candidate with expertise in both empirical and theoretical economics, with good coding skills.
The role will involve designing surveys, working with existing datasets, and applying structural models relating to human capital development and labor markets.
The position does not require teaching, but it may be possible to get teaching experience for compensation.
For consideration, applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with a full working paper and publication list, statement of research interests, job market paper, transcript and two letters of reference, all in PDF format.
