CORE FELLOWSHIPS IN OPERATIONS RESEARCH, MICROECONOMICS, AND ECONOMETRICS

The Center for Operations Research and Econometrics of the Université catholique de Louvain is offering fellowships in operations research (including mathematical programming and optimization), microeconomics and econometrics, starting September 1st 2008.

We are interested both by promising young candidates who will complete their Ph.

Fellows are expected to publish their research results in the discussion paper series of CORE, to present seminars at CORE and to interact with faculty and students in residence at CORE. A light contribution to doctoral level teaching can be required.

Positions are for one or preferably two years at the assistant professor level and are open to candidates with a PhD degree. It is critical that candidates in the PhD stage have successfully defended their PhD thesis before arriving on September 1st. Net salary is of the order of 1900 euros per month.

Professors on sabbatical leave from their university and who wish to spend one year at CORE can also apply for a fellowship.
