About this position
The Kiel Institute for the World Economy invites applications for the Albert O. Hirschman PostDoc Program 2027, a highly selective postdoctoral cohort based in Berlin or Kiel. The program is designed for exceptional young economists who want to pursue independent, high-impact research in international economics and contribute to a small, cohesive research community.
Participants will work within the Kiel Institute’s research environment and broader policy network, with an emphasis on engaging in the Institute’s seminar culture and, where there is a good fit, contributing to collaborative projects. The thematic scope is broad and includes international trade, international finance, macroeconomics, development economics, climate economics, geoeconomics, and research on security, defense, and conflict. The program is inspired by Albert O. Hirschman’s legacy of creativity and intellectual independence across economics and the social sciences.
Each participant will have one or more professors at the Kiel Institute as mentors, alongside a small peer board of senior scholars, including external professors, for strategy and placement advice. The program also offers a structured environment for career development, including job-market preparation for two-year participants and opportunities for grant-writing support.
The postdoc cohort starts on 1 September 2027, with contracts offered for one or two years depending on job-market outcomes. Participants receive office space, IT support, access to Institute data resources, and the chance to take part in major Kiel–CEPR conferences and related research activities. Teaching and administrative duties are kept to a minimum, while teaching practice opportunities at partner universities and selected ASP training courses are available.
The institute highlights a strong, collaborative and policy-oriented research setting with regular seminars, mentoring, and networking opportunities for scholars working at the frontier of international economics.
