EGC Post-doctoral Program

The Economic Growth Center at Yale University has created a new two-year post-doctoral program and is seeking applicants for one or two positions for 2009-2011.  As background, the Economic Growth Center recently initiated two (of three planned) 20-year panel surveys in Ghana and India, and is also heavily involved in field experiments in several countries. The position seeks students interested in these projects, both in collaboration with current Yale faculty and independently.  The position begins summer or fall of 2009, and applicants should plan to complete their PhD at some point in the calendar year 2009.  The position will require one course per year of teaching.  Although the post-doc is expected to be on campus throughout the year, the non-teaching semesters are available for visits to the field as needed.  The position is open to both development students as well as non-development students interested in pursuing development research.  To apply, please mail your CV, a research paper, letters of recommendation, and a cover letter to Wendy Lewis, Economic Growth Center, Yale University, P.O. Box 208269, New Haven, CT 06520-8269.  Please note that email applications will not be accepted.  The application deadline is December 15; earlier applications are encouraged.
