Two Postdocs in Political Economy

These are full time two-year fixed term positions.

Successful candidates will work on one of the following projects: “Women and the Future of Work” or “Asset Ownership and the New Inequality”.

The teaching load will be set at 20%, which would translate into approximately four hours of teaching per week (for instance, one unit of study and associated tutorials per semester).
