Nijmegen School of Management is looking for an academic who is willing to engage with the work of the Radboud University Centre for Analytical Modelling and teach mathematics-oriented courses at the Economics Department.
As a postdoctoral researcher, his/her task will be to help characterise appropriate model assumptions, levels of abstraction and techniques. This is important because approaches, techniques and results of the projects will be showcased at seminars, with the idea of attracting researchers from other disciplines such as healthcare, cognitive neuroscience, sensorimotor control research, linguistics or (neuro)psychology, where similar or different modelling techniques are applied. The candidate should also expect to participate in the preparation of international conferences aimed at bringing together scientists who use analytical modelling techniques. They will also have teaching duties and may have to participate in developing analytical modelling modules.
Salary
- The gross monthly salary amounts to a minimum of €3,807 and a maximum of €5,211 depending on previous education and number of years of relevant work experience.
