Job description
This is an exciting opportunity to join a new multi-million-pound ESRC-funded Research Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP) which spans four Departments in Sussex plus universities in all four UK nations and comprises scholars from economics, law, business management, politics, and international relations.
This call is for an Economist experienced in research on foreign direct investment (FDI) and estimating the effects of trade policy interventions. She/he will be based in the Department of Economics in the University of Sussex Business School and located in the University’s Jubilee Building.
This is an exciting time to join a dynamic and rapidly growing unit undertaking advanced research on international trade and trade policy. Details can be found below. Candidates should demonstrate the potential to conduct high quality research in the economics of international trade, and to be able to communicate it clearly in writing and verbally.
The Research Fellows will be part of the CITP’s Early Career Researcher cohort for which the Centre will organise various professional development activities. They will also form part of a large group of trade scholars in Sussex which, as well as CITP, also includes faculty and Research Fellows in the UK Trade Policy Observatory (UKTPO).
Collaboration and team working will be central to the work of both the CITP and the UKTPO, so being able to work closely with colleagues in a fast-moving and exciting area is important.
