We would be very grateful if you would bring Nuffield's Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellowships in Economics to the attention of any finishing PhD students who might be interested.

These fellowships are 3-year postdoctoral research positions.  Post-docs have no teaching or administrative obligations, though they may, if they wish, undertake paid graduate teaching for the Oxford Economics Department. Post-docs have the opportunity to visit another institution for a term of paid leave.

There are currently five Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows funded by Nuffield:
Florin Bilbiie (Ph.D. EUI; macroeconomics; dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models; fiscal and monetary theory)
Jordi Blanes i Vidal (Ph.D. LSE; law and economics; financial economics)
Tuomas Pekkarinen (Ph.D. EUI; labour economics; on unpaid leave for 2005-6 at Uppsala)
Bruno Strulovici (Ph.D. Stanford; mathematical economics, financial economics )
Christopher Tyson (Ph.D. Stanford; decision theory and game theory)
 
 
There are also five postdoctoral fellows based at Nuffield but funded by outside fellowships or grants:
Christopher Bowdler (D. Phil. Oxford; empirical macroeconomics)
Clive Bowsher (D. Phil. Oxford; financial econometrics)
Rafael Hortala-Vallve (D.Phil. LSE; political economy, contract theory )
Roland Meeks (D. Phil. Oxford; dynamic general equilibrium macroeconomic models)
Hongjun Zhong (D. Phil. Oxford; auction theory)
 
 
In addition, there are seven postdoctoral fellows based in the Oxford Economics Department but affiliated with Nuffield:
Sharon Belenzon (Ph.D. LSE; economics of innovation)
John Bluedorn (Ph.D. Berkeley; international macroeconomics)
Pablo Casas-Arce (Ph.D. Harvard; contracts and incentives)
Michela Cella (Ph.D. LSE; contracts and incentives)
Stefan de Wachter (D. Phil. Oxford; financial econometrics and microeconometrics)
Dmitry Kulikov (Ph.D. Aarhus; financial econometrics)
Clare Leaver (Ph.D. Bristol; political economy and public finance).

Recent post-docs in Economics include Lucy White, who went to Harvard Business School Finance Group and is now at Lausanne; Volker Nocke, now at University of Pennsylvania Economics Department; Ran Spiegler, now at Tel Aviv University Economics Department; and Erik Eyster, now at the London School of Economics.
 
Nuffield will most likely appoint one post-doc in Economics this year, and the Oxford Economics Department will be advertising at least two postdoctoral positions.

We strongly prefer to receive application packages for the Nuffield postdoc by 15 November 2005, though applications received later will be considered.

We attach a job description and an application form. These are also available on the Nuffield website (http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk) under 'Join Us' and on the Oxford Economics Department website (http://www.economics.ox.ac.uk) under 'Academic Vacancies'.

We look forward to hearing from you about interested individuals.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,
