We are seeking a candidate for a Post Doctoral position in Economics. It is a 2-year Postdoc within a research project investigating the effects of digital tools in retirement planning.  Utilizing administrative data from the Swedish pension dashboard, minPension, and Statistics Sweden, the project seeks to identify socio-economic disparities in the utilization of Pension Tracking Systems (PTS) and evaluate the influence of PTSs on retirement choices.

We invite applications from researchers who have completed their doctoral degree (no older than three years) or have a scheduled defense date before the starting date for this position. The Degree of Doctor should be in a relevant discipline, such as economics or business administration.

As a successful candidate you are used to handling large datasets using micro econometric techniques. You should demonstrate your ability to perform high-quality research, and if you can display experience in public and/or labor economics it is considered a merit.
