About this position
The University of Helsinki is offering a fixed-term postdoctoral position in the Department of Economics and Management at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. The researcher will join the Agricultural Economics research group at the Viikki campus and contribute to the project Intergenerational Transitions in the Nordics (NEXT), a comparative study of how inheritance and gift taxation shape farm succession and the development of farm businesses in Sweden and Finland.
The project uses the contrast between Sweden and Finland to investigate intergenerational ownership transitions in agriculture, with a particular focus on the timing of transfers, within-family succession, and the economic consequences that follow. The research is grounded in harmonized longitudinal administrative register data from both countries and combines institutional comparison with applied empirical analysis.
The postdoctoral researcher will help build the Sweden–Finland empirical framework and carry out econometric analyses of ownership transitions. This includes identifying and dating transitions, classifying transfer modes, distinguishing family from non-family transfers, and linking succession events to outcomes such as farm viability, investment, land-use continuity, and technological development. The role involves producing peer-reviewed journal articles and contributing to the broader research agenda of the project team.
The position is embedded in an active research environment with collaboration across agricultural economics, family business, ownership and governance, entrepreneurship, and applied microeconomics. The project team works with researchers at Jönköping International Business School and the Center for Family Entrepreneurship and Ownership, offering opportunities for joint workshops, research collaboration, and international networking. The successful candidate will also be part of the department’s academic activities and the research group’s ongoing work using secure administrative data.
The advert names Professor Pia Nilsson at the University of Helsinki and Professor Lucia Naldi at Jönköping University as project leaders.
Funding details
Funded research postdoctoral position for two years, supported by the Peter Wallenberg Foundation; salary based on University of Helsinki pay scale, typically around 3,600–3,800 euros per month plus personal performance component.

Experience with applied microeconomics, causal inference, event-study methods, or related longitudinal approaches is an advantage. Excellent written and spoken English skills are required; knowledge of Swedish or Finnish is not required but is an advantage.
