Scholarship Description: The Knowledge for Growth unit (KfG) of JRC-IPTS has vacancies for post-doctoral researchers to work on developing a system of regional models that will enable the proper assessment of EU Cohesion Policy. This work is carried out in close co-operation with the Directorate-General for Regional Policy and its external contractors. The successful candidates will be closely involved in the development of a spatial computable general equilibrium model for the EU regions at NUTS2 level. They should be able to run simulations with the model and to fine-tune the effects over time with the help of more aggregated outcomes of multi-country models. The model will be used for quantitative assessments of the regional impact of EU policies. The candidates should be familiar with EU regional policy and have ample experience in the econometric estimation and simulation of general equilibrium type models. They should have a good track record of publications.
How to Apply: Online and by post
Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 August 2011
