Jobs in Kiel, United States

The Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel and the Kiel Institute für the World Economy invite applications for a junior professorship (W1) with tenure track (W2) in Political Economy of Governance in Non-Democratic Regimes. We are looking for an economist with a methodological background in applied microeconomics and a focus on the political economy and economic history of governance in non-democratic regimes.

Kiel University aims to attract more qualified women to professorships.

The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences of Kiel University together with the Kiel Institute for the World Economy invites applications for a junior professorship (W1) with tenure track (W2) in Political Economy of Governance in Non-Democratic Regimes with temporary civil service status for an initial period of three years (first phase) to start at the earliest possible time or date.

The future job holder shall be responsible for the subject area in Political Economy of Governance in Non-Democratic Regimes in research and teaching.

The junior professorship will be filled according to the Jülich model (leave of absence model). It involves a full-time (100%) assignment to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and a reduced teaching load at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Social Sciences of Kiel University. We are looking for an economist with the potential to publish in top international journals and the willingness to actively contribute to and shape the economic policy debate.

The ideal candidate works on economic mechanisms and strategies of autocratic and populist regimes to build and maintain power, popularity, and elite support. The successful candidate will display the potential to shape this emerging field and connect with researchers at the Kiel Institute working on topics such as populism or the effects of economic sanctions on autocratic regime stability.

We aim for all our professors to engage in policy and outreach activities at the Kiel Institute, contribute to teaching and the Ph.D. program „Quantitative Economics“ at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences, initiate and head research groups, and participate in international research networks.

Please refer to the recruitment requirements of § 64 and § 62a of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein. After successful evaluation of the first phase of the junior professorship, it is the aim to extend the temporary civil servant status for another period of three years (second phase).

After successful evaluation, and if the additional requirements of § 62a of the Higher Education Act of the State of Schleswig-Holstein are met, the aim is to upgrade the professorship to a W 2-Professorship. In addition to the evaluation of the junior professorship, a separate evaluation procedure is carried out at Kiel University, usually during the second phase of the junior professorship, in accordance with the current statutes.
