     The Institute for Financial Research (SIFR) is looking for
     visiting researchers in financial economics starting fall
     semester 2010.



     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 professors
     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.
