The Department is especially dedicated to research and therefore primarily seeks applicants from top international schools. Applicants should have extensive personal experience in public economics, demonstrated by existing papers or a dissertation, and ideally by publications in first-rate journals.
Applicants should have completed-or be close to completing-a Ph.D. in public economics. The Ph.D. must be completed by the appointment date.

Salary will be negotiable according to the State Salary Scale for Junior Positions.

· Local research funds will be available for travelling grants for conference and workshop presentations. Good facilities in terms of extensive research library, personal equipment and personal annum for books and journals.
Publications in international refereed journals have high priority. A selection of A-journal publications is rewarded with publication bonus in the order of €10 000 (single authorship). In addition the personal annum can be increased through publications in some other selected journals.
Applicants are requested to present a research plan with their application. The research plan must specify a four-year research project in public economics. This project will be part of the department's strategy to further strengthen its research in public economics over the next four years. Within this field the department will encourage both theoretical and empirical research, focusing either on taxation, public expenditure or both. Emphasis will be placed on the applicant's research profile and ability to contribute to the research environment. Information concerning education and work experience must be included as well as a list of all publications, testimonials, certificates, and any other documentation which may be useful in the evaluation of the application, such as reference letters and publications.
