Research Opportunities at the Institute for Fiscal Studies

We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral economists to join our research teams at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. As a leading centre for microeconomic research, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and the wider public.

Our postdoctoral fellows will work within a team of researchers whose direction of research fits with their expertise and interests. This will likely include a mix of senior academics and IFS research staff. We will work with successful applicants to secure the best fit for their research interests and strengths and to encourage them to develop these to mutual advantage.

Researchers based at IFS have access to a range of datasets, with opportunities to work on administrative datasets on education, health, and labour markets. They will also have the opportunity to engage with work using primary collected data by IFS researchers, often in the context of low-income countries, or rich secondary data, often matched to administrative data.

We welcome applications from students expecting to complete a PhD in 2025. One and three-year Postdoctoral Fellowship positions are available, with the three-year position more focused on labor economics.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct research in microeconomics, with a focus on labor economics
  • Work with senior academics and IFS research staff to develop research projects
  • Access a range of datasets, including administrative datasets and primary collected data

Requirements:

  • PhD in economics or a related field
  • Strong research skills and experience in microeconomics
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team

How to Apply:

Log in to our website and choose your Applicant role (or, if you have no account, create one). You will need to submit a job market paper, additional paper (optional), other material (in one file) (optional), and video presentation of job market paper (optional).
