ifo Insti­tut – Leib­niz-Insti­tut für Wirt­schafts­for­schung an der Uni­ver­si­tät Mün­chen e. V. - Dresden Branch

The Dresden branch, foun­ded by the ifo Insti­tute in 1993, con­ducts empir­ical eco­nomic research that is geared to the spe­cial con­cerns of the new fed­eral states and, in par­tic­u­lar, the Free State of Sax­ony and is inten­ded to provide poli­cy­makers with indic­a­tions for tar­geted action. For example, it exam­ines how struc­tural change can be sup­por­ted in a tar­geted and socially accept­able man­ner, which factors influ­ence eco­nomic devel­op­ment spe­cific­ally in the Free State of Sax­ony, and how cur­rent and future fiscal policy chal­lenges can be respon­ded to. The effects of demo­graphic change are also con­sidered as a cross-cut­ting topic. Many of the research find­ings can also be applied to other struc­tur­ally weak regions in Ger­many.

To strengthen our team in Dresden, we are look­ing for two PhD stu­dents to work in the research area "Busi­ness Cycle and Growth" or “Regional Eco­nom­ics” as well as for a PhD in Eco­nom­ics at the Fac­ulty of Eco­nom­ics at the TU Dresden.

The Dresden branch, foun­ded by the ifo Insti­tute in 1993, con­ducts empir­ical eco­nomic research. Your research is ori­ented towards the spe­cial con­cerns of the new fed­eral states and in par­tic­u­lar the Free State of Sax­ony and advises policy makers on the basis of evid­ence-based eco­nomic research. Many of the research find­ings can also be applied to other struc­tur­ally weak regions. The branch's research­ers exam­ine, for example, how poli­cy­makers can make struc­tural change socially accept­able, what factors influ­ence eco­nomic devel­op­ment and how to respond to cur­rent and future fiscal chal­lenges. The effects of demo­graphic change are also an import­ant cross-cut­ting topic at ifo Dresden. In addi­tion, the branch pro­duces reg­u­lar eco­nomic fore­casts for east­ern Ger­many and Sax­ony.

The ifo Insti­tute is one of the lead­ing eco­nomic research insti­tutes in Europe. It works on eco­nom­ic­ally and politico-eco­nomic issues of inter­na­tional rel­ev­ance at the highest sci­entific level and with an inter­na­tional impact and devel­ops research-based recom­mend­a­tions for action for polit­ics, busi­ness and soci­ety. Through its five fields of activ­ity - research, pro­mo­tion of young research­ers, polit­ical con­sult­ing, par­ti­cip­a­tion in pub­lic debates and inform­a­tion/ser­vices - it con­trib­utes to main­tain­ing and increas­ing sus­tain­able eco­nomic prosper­ity and social par­ti­cip­a­tion under con­stantly chan­ging con­di­tions.

  • Pos­i­tion 2: You ana­lyze regional eco­nomic devel­op­ments (for example: with respect to the effects of regional trans­fers or with respect to the regional and sec­toral effects of trans­form­ing tech­no­lo­gies). In addi­tion, you will sup­port the work of the branch office in other pro­jects rel­ev­ant to the topic.
  • As part of your doc­tor­ate, you will con­duct empir­ical or the­or­et­ical research on top­ics in the field of "mac­roe­co­nom­ics" and/or "sus­tain­able growth" or “regional eco­nom­ics”.
  • You will pub­lish your sci­entific res­ults in inter­na­tional journ­als.
  • You are involved in the trans­fer of know­ledge from research to prac­tice, e.g. by pub­lish­ing your sci­entific find­ings in a gen­er­ally under­stand­able way in our in-house journal "ifo Dresden berichtet" and, if desired, by par­ti­cip­at­ing in pub­lic dis­course.
  • You will par­ti­cip­ate in the struc­tured doc­toral train­ing of the TU Dresden (Uni­versity of Excel­lence).

Requirements:

  • You have com­pleted your mas­ter's degree in eco­nom­ics with very good res­ults.

  • You have the abil­ity to express even com­plic­ated sci­entific issues in Ger­man in a gen­er­ally under­stand­able way.
  • With a good com­mand of writ­ten and spoken Eng­lish, you can move con­fid­ently in the inter­na­tional researcher field.
