About this position
PhD opportunity in econometric theory and methodology at Aarhus Center for Econometrics (ACE), hosted by the Department of Economics and Business Economics at Aarhus University.
The project sits within ACE’s research agenda on methods for estimation and inference that remain reliable when conventional assumptions do not fit the data or statistical problem. The call invites an original PhD project in econometric theory and methodology, with possible directions including cluster dependence, high-dimensional models, outliers, bootstrap methods, and nonparametric inference. Applicants are also welcome to propose another closely related topic that makes a clear contribution to econometric theory or methodology.
The successful PhD student will join a strong research environment at ACE and work alongside researchers based at Aarhus University and within an international network that includes the University of Oxford, Princeton University, MIT, and UC Berkeley. The student will participate in seminars, conferences, research visits, and collaborations, and the project includes a research stay abroad of three to nine months. The work will involve developing econometric methods, establishing theoretical properties, and presenting research through papers and talks; simulation studies and empirical applications may be included where relevant.
The position is part of Aarhus BSS Graduate School, and the PhD student will be enrolled in the relevant PhD programme while contributing to the broader ACE research project. The advertised supervisor/contact for the position is Professor Morten Ørregaard Nielsen.
