The European Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (ECARES, www.ecares.org) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles has two openings for a post-doctoral fellowship, starting in the Summer or Fall 2009. These Brussels-based positions are for two years, renewable one year. They are funded by two recent research grants that members of the center have won on market design and market evolution, and on the interplay between market and firm organizations and competition policy. The fellows are expected to participate actively in the intellectual life of the center and to contribute broadly to the research agenda of the center in the areas of microeconomics and industrial organization. Backgrounds in microeconomic theory, econometrics and finance are all welcome. There are no teaching obligations. Applicants should have received their Ph.Ds within the last 5 years (or by September 2009). Applications are due by January 31, 2009.

. Bram De Rock (ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles and ECORE), Laurens Cherchye (KU Leuven) and Frederic Vermeulen (Tilburg University) have been awarded the VVE prize. The society for Flemish economists (Vereniging voor Vlaamse Economisten) grants this two yearly award to the best paper written by Flemish economists under the age of 35. We are very happy to report that Estelle Cantillon was selected by the European Research Council as one of the 300 recipients (out of 9,167 applicants in all fields of research) of an 'ERC Starting Independent Grant'. A graduate of Université Libre de Bruxelles and Harvard University, Estelle was subsequently on the Faculty of Harvard Business School, and came back to ECARES (Université Libre de Bruxelles) as Permanent Researcher (Chercheur Qualifié) at Fonds National de la Recherche Scientique. Her general research area concerns auctions and industrial organization. Her ERC research project is entitled 'Market Design and the Evolution of Markets'. |
