ERN Jobs: UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN

                      UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN
                          The Netherlands

                 Faculty of Economics and Business

         Full Professor of Applied Econometrics/Statistics


     The Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of
     Groningen, the Netherlands, offers a position as Full
     Professor of Applied Econometrics/Statistics (vac.nr.
     208037).

     Most empirical research in economics and business is based
     on quantitative methods in general and on the application
     of econometric and statistical methods in particular. Data
     sets are of increasingly better quality, and, in the case
     of time series, of increasingly higher frequency. This, and
     increased computing power, enable modern applied
     researchers to examine research questions that could not be
     answered until recently. Empirical research in economics
     and business has benefited from recent advances in
     econometric and statistical techniques, for example in the
     areas of time series analysis, financial econometrics,
     semi- and nonparametric models, and simulation and
     bootstrap.


     JOB DESCRIPTION:

     The professor will provide leadership in research and
     teaching in the fields of Applied Econometrics/Statistics,
     teach in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in
     Business and Economics, and conduct high-quality research
     in the Institute of Economics, Econometrics and Finance.
     The candidate is expected to supervise PhD students.


     JOB QUALIFICATIONS:

     - Broad and outstanding knowledge in the field of Applied
       Econometrics/Statistics, demonstrated by national and
       international academic publications. The candidate must
       easily satisfy the standards of the research school SOM.
     - Ample experience in starting up research and supervising
       researchers (PhD students).
     - Proven didactic qualities, experience in developing new
       modules.
     - Wide, relevant international network.
     - Demonstrable management qualities.
     - Willingness and experience to acquire external research
       funding.
