      The Swedish Institute for Financial Research (SIFR) is
      looking for junior visiting researchers in financial
      economics starting fall semester 2008.


      JOB DESCRIPTION:

      SIFR offers a stimulating environment for scholars active
      in the fields of asset pricing, international finance,
      corporate finance, and financial markets. A visitor at SIFR
      will join a small but high-quality group of internationally
      active researchers in a dynamic work environment, which
      encourages close interaction. There are no teaching
      obligations but SIFR research fellows and visiting
      researchers are expected to assist in the arrangements of
      seminars and conferences, and are encouraged to interact
      with the financial community. The length of a visiting
      contract could range from six months up to two years.


      JOB QUALIFICATIONS:

      We are looking for fresh PhDs or PhD candidates who are
      near completion of their thesis with a strong research
      potential.


      ABOUT THE INSTITUTE:

      The aim of SIFR is to conduct and stimulate high quality
      research in financial economics. In addition, SIFR has the
      ambition to narrow the gap between academic research and
      the practice of the financial industry. SIFR started its
      operations in 2001 and is an independent non-profit
      association funded by private donations. The institute is
      located in central Stockholm, close to the Stockholm School
      of Economics campus.
