Universidad Pontificia Comillas (ICADE) in Spain is establishing a new Chair in Banking Regulation and is seeking its first postdoctoral researcher in the economic analysis of banking regulation. The position is designed for candidates with a PhD (or near completion) in Economics or Finance, with strong skills in applied microeconometrics and experience working with large-scale financial datasets. The research focus is on the impact of financial regulation on the banking sector, aiming to bridge academic rigor and policy debate in Europe. Research interests in prudential regulation, macroprudential policy, or resolution frameworks are considered a plus, but the primary criteria are methodological excellence and intellectual curiosity.

The successful candidate will join a new research center with ambitions to become a leading institution in Spain for independent, policy-relevant research. The role offers a 3-year full-time contract (extendable), a competitive salary, and access to professional data platforms. Depending on the candidate's profile, the position may be fully research-focused or include teaching responsibilities at ICADE. The start date is September 2026, with an application deadline of March 31st, 2026.

Applicants should prepare their materials according to the instructions provided in the application link. For further information or questions, candidates are encouraged to contact José A., Senior Advisor, Board Member, and Lecturer at Universidad Pontificia Comillas, via LinkedIn. This is an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers interested in banking regulation, economic policy, and financial sector analysis to shape the research agenda of a new institution.
