Professors Lucio Baccaro and Jonas Pontusson of the University of Geneva are seeking to fill three doctoral fellowships (“candocs”) of three years each for a research project on the political economy of growth models financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
The fellowships’ thematic focuses are as follows:

- The politics of monetary policy, fiscal policy, and taxation;
- Institutional and policy determinants of export success, particularly in tradable services.
Candidates holding a Master’s degree in Political Science, Sociology, Socio-Economics, or Economics (orientation: Macroeconomics or Labor Economics) are invited to apply.
The deadline for applications is June 1, 2016. The starting date is in principle September 1, 2016. Doctoral fellows financed by the SNSF receive a stipend of CHF 47,000-50,000 per year.
Candidates’ application packages should be sent preferably by email. Please include: (1) curriculum vitae; (2) Master’s thesis or other research paper; (3) letter of motivation; (4) university transcripts (not necessarily official); and (5) contact details of at least one referee.
