About the Project

This research project aims to investigate the economic effects of individual debt relief, a crucial policy area that has been in place in Denmark for decades.

  • As a PhD student, you will contribute to the analysis of impacts of debt relief on granted individuals, their health, families, and children, as well as investigate the likelihood of starting up your own business and its subsequent performance.
Requirements and Qualifications

The successful candidate should possess:

  • A strong background in Economics or Public Policy
  • Strong analytical skills
  • A demonstrated track record of good grades in previous courses, particularly in (micro)econometrics or labor/public economics
  • A profound interest in economics with a focus on public policy/finance or labor economics
Working Conditions

You will be based at the Fuglesangs Allé 4 campus in Aarhus V, with access to cutting-edge facilities and a dynamic academic environment.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary of approximately €35,000 - €45,000 per annum, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Additionally, you will receive comprehensive benefits, including health insurance, pension plan, and paid vacation time.
