Aarhus University is offering a fully funded PhD position in Econometrics through the Aarhus BSS Graduate School, in connection with the Aarhus Center for Econometrics (ACE), a Center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The research project focuses on advanced econometric theory and methodology, including cluster-dependent estimation and inference, high-dimensional parameter analysis, robust methods for outliers, bootstrap theory, and nonparametric inference. The ACE center collaborates with leading institutions such as Oxford, Princeton, MIT, and UC Berkeley, providing a vibrant and international research environment.

The PhD position is a 36-month, full-time funded opportunity, including coursework, teaching, and a 3–9 month research stay abroad. The successful candidate will work independently and collaboratively on research papers, develop research questions, and present results at conferences and seminars. Applicants should have a strong background in econometrics, economics, statistics, or mathematics, with excellent analytical and mathematical skills, and a genuine passion for research. A project proposal related to the research topics is required as part of the application.

Funding covers salary/stipend, tuition, and research travel. The position is open to candidates from diverse backgrounds, and Aarhus University values equality and diversity. The application deadline is 15 December 2025, with the expected start date of 1 September 2026. For more information, visit the ACE website or contact Professor Morten Ørregaard Nielsen ([email protected]). Apply online via the Aarhus University career portal.
