Description
The Economic Growth Center (EGC) at Yale seeks an exceptional candidate for a Postdoctoral Associate position focused on macro-development for the 2027-2028 academic year. This is a one-year, full-time appointment, with the possibility of renewal contingent upon funding.
This position provides an opportunity for an early-career economist to develop high-impact research at the intersection of macroeconomics and development economics research. Associates will participate in the activities of the Development Economics and Macroeconomics programs within the Economics department at Yale University, including faculty seminars, graduate student works-in-progress lunches, workshops and public lectures, and enjoy access to a wide range of other activities throughout the University. Associates should be open to opportunities for research collaboration and to provide consultations to graduate students interested in macro-development. Candidates with an interest in developing new projects focused on labor market dynamics, structural transformation, and growth in sub-Saharan Africa will receive preferred consideration.
The postdoc will be associated with and mentored by three faculty members and EGC affiliates who collectively span EGC's macro-dev research agenda: Professors Lauren Bergquist, Kevin Donovan, and Michael Peters. The postdoc will use this opportunity to work on their own research but also collaborate with Lauren, Kevin, and Michael.
Compensation will be commensurate with Yale University postdoctoral compensation policies and the candidate's experience. This position is benefits-eligible, with a travel/research stipend and office space.
