Junior Researcher / PreDoc (Kiel or Berlin)
The Kiel Institute for the World Economy is looking for up to two highly motivated Junior Researchers / PreDocs to join our dynamic research team at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. The positions are almost full-time (75-90 percent). One position should be based in Kiel and another one optional in Kiel or in our Research Hub in Berlin. Both positions are linked to the research group by Prof. Christoph Trebesch and his ERC project on Great Power Finance.
The two positions have the following focus, respectively:
- Digital chokepoints: geopolitical risk and telecom networks
- International capital flows: great powers and cross-border investments across 200 years
Your Role
Your main role will be to contribute to cutting-edge research on one or two of the projects. The work will involve extensive data collection and rigorous empirical analysis using historical and contemporary sources. A particular focus of these roles will be archival research and the construction of novel datasets from historical records and documents related to telecommunications, computer science, financial assets and international capital flows.
As part of Christoph Trebesch’s research group, you will work closely with senior researchers on high-impact projects in macroeconomics, economic history, and political economy. The positions offer an excellent opportunity to gain advanced research experience, develop strong empirical skills, and contribute to internationally visible academic work.
Your Profile
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following criteria:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in economics (completed or close to completion) with very good grades.
- Strong quantitative and empirical skills and experience, particularly:
- For position (1): experience with data on telecommunication and computer science
- For position (2): experience with data on financial assets and/or international capital flows, ideally also historical financial data
- Experience with advanced AI tools and statistical software such as Stata, R, and/or Python.
