Tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Macroeconomics

The Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Copenhagen, invites excellent candidates for a tenure-track assistant professorship in Macroeconomics.

The position is available from August 1st, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. An earlier start is also possible.

Your Competencies and Opportunities
The Department of Economics has a strong international research profile and a vibrant and dynamic research and teaching environment. Our new colleague is expected to contribute actively to advancing this environment.

To be assessed qualified for a tenure-track assistant professor position at the University of Copenhagen, the candidate must have a PhD in Economics or equivalent academic qualifications. Furthermore, the applicants should meet the University’s criteria of academic merit.

Six overall criteria apply for tenure-track assistant professor appointments at the University of Copenhagen. The six criteria relating to research, teaching, societal impact, organizational contribution, external funding, and leadership are considered a framework for the overall assessment of candidates.

Job Description
The general duties attached to the position of tenure-track assistant professor are:

  • Research within the field of Economics.
  • Teaching, supervision, and examination of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
  • Knowledge sharing with the rest of society.
  • Research and teaching management.
  • Raising external research grants.

A successful candidate will have strong interpersonal skills and an aptitude for working collaboratively with colleagues in planning and delivering teaching, conducting research projects, and performing administrative duties.

Furthermore, the candidate must demonstrate a commitment to student learning, support student welfare, and enhance student experience.

Tenure-track Assistant Professor
A tenure-track assistant professorship is a six-year, fixed-term academic position involving both research and teaching. The successful candidate will be obliged to complete a teacher-training course designed especially for assistant professors and will be expected to take part in all the activities of the Department, including examinations and administration.

Approximately six months before the end of the six years as a tenure-track assistant professor, a committee set up by the Dean will assess whether the assistant professor can be considered for promotion to a tenured position as associate professor.

Strategy of the Faculty of Social Sciences
The Department of Economics is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Faculty is a successful academic community that strives to put knowledge into action by:

  • Engaging partners in co-creating knowledge, learning, and social change.
  • Empowering our students to become reflective and responsible citizens who have the vision, the knowledge, and the competencies to change society for the better.
  • Energizing global, European, and Danish communities of knowledge by innovating research methodologies and by research findings with impact.
  • Employment with the Faculty of Social Sciences and progression within employment will be determined only by personal merit. We do this by applying the academic criteria of the University of Copenhagen, which are related to the duties and conditions of each particular post and the needs of the Department concerned.
  • This is a tenure-track position, and therefore, we strongly encourage the appointed assistant professor to acquire the proficiency in Danish required to teach and interact with colleagues in that language in 2-4 years. The Department will provide and pay for the necessary language training.

The Recruitment Process
After the deadline expiry for applications and interviews at the European Job Market, applicants are selected for assessment on the advice of the Appointments Committee. All applicants are notified if their application has been passed for assessment by an expert assessment committee.

An Equal Opportunity Workplace
The University of Copenhagen is committed to pursuing academic excellence, equality of opportunity, and creating an inclusive working environment. It encourages all qualified candidates to apply, regardless of personal background, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, ethnicity, etc.
