About this position
Ghent University is advertising a Postdoc researcher - Economie (30236) within the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Department EB21 - Economie, in Ghent, Belgium. The position is a 100% appointment for 8 months on a contract of limited duration, with a required PhD and salary scale PD1 to PD4 (or WM1 to WM4 for candidates holding a Master’s degree, where applicable).
The research project focuses on empirical analysis of electricity tariffs, including topics such as dynamic pricing and capacity tariffs, and how these influence household electricity consumption and flexibility behaviour. The successful candidate will work closely with Prof. Marten Ovaere and contribute to scientific publications. This is a strong fit for researchers with backgrounds in economics, econometrics, energy economics, or related quantitative fields.
Applicants are expected to bring strong quantitative and econometric skills, experience handling large datasets, the ability to work independently, and strong scientific writing skills in English. An interest in household energy behaviour and empirical work in energy-related research is highlighted as an advantage.
The application deadline is 01/09/2026 at 23:59 Brussels time. Applications must be submitted through Ghent University’s online e-recruitment system; emailed and late applications are not accepted. Required documents include a CV plus academic transcript in one PDF, a cover letter, and a diploma transcript if available. If the degree certificate is in a language other than Dutch, French, German, or English, a translation is required.
