Joint application for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern Denmark
The Department of Economics at the University of Southern Denmark invites highly motivated and talented researchers to submit joint proposals under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme. Successful proposals will result in a two‑year appointment at our university as a Marie Skłodowska‑Curie fellow. In recent years, we have had a strong track record of securing these grants. Accepted fellows will join the Econometrics and Data Science Research Group at the Department of Economics. The group conducts high‑quality research and teaching in Econometrics, Statistics, Causal Inference, Machine Learning, and Big Data Analytics. Our research platform has been pioneering in applying machine‑learning methods in economics—for example, using image‑recognition algorithms to transcribe historical documents. While data‑science methods are powerful for prediction, uncovering causal relationships is essential for producing evidence‑based policy recommendations. Our group develops new methods and applies state‑of‑the‑art causal inference in Health and Labor Economics to answer key societal questions. Eligibility Candidates of any nationality are welcome to apply. Applicants must hold a PhD degree (obtained no more than eight years ago) and must not have lived or worked in Denmark for more than 12 months within the 36 months preceding the application deadline. The working language is English. The successful candidate has a strong international profile, a solid publication record, and demonstrated potential for research excellence. We offer an ambitious and stimulating research environment, and we expect fellows to actively contribute to the development of the research group. If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity, please send your CV and a short, motivated application outlining: your research field, your project idea, the knowledge and skills you aim to develop during the fellowship, and how your research will contribute to the group. More information about the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships can be found at this link. Expressions of interest must be submitted no later than 1 March 2026 to Professor Giovanni Mellace at giome@sam.sdu.dk. Selected candidates will be invited to participate in an online Marie Curie PF masterclass 14 and 15 April 2026. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship deadline is 11 September 2026.

Call for book chapters - The Francophone doctoral experience (interdisciplinary volume)
Please note: This is a French-language publication. Contributions must be written in French, though the call is open internationally to all francophone doctoral students across all disciplines and regions. This collective volume, coordinated by Awa Ndiaye (University of Ottawa, Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar 2025), seeks to amplify the voices of emerging Francophone scholars across diverse geographic, disciplinary, and epistemological contexts. Through critical, reflective or engaged contributions, the project aims to rethink research from the inside, with a focus on shared leadership, intergenerational dialogue, and the valorization of emerging perspectives. Initiated by and for the next generation of researchers, this editorial project is supported by an interdisciplinary editorial advisory board composed entirely of doctoral students and early-career researchers. It offers a space for critical reflection, storytelling, and experience-sharing, at the intersection of individual trajectories and collective challenges related to doctoral training, epistemic engagement, and the material and symbolic conditions of scientific production. In an academic context increasingly shaped by performance-based metrics, structural inequalities, and epistemic marginalization, this volume embraces a plural, transversal and reflexive approach. Contributions may be grounded in specific disciplines, institutions or territories, while remaining open to interdisciplinarity, critique and subjectivity. Rather than prescribing norms, this book aims to co-construct a polyphonic body of work, where experiential, theoretical, methodological and affective knowledge intersect. The overarching objective is to think of research differently, as a space of co-agency, solidarity, and future-shaping potential for emerging scholars. A concluding afterword will be written by a senior scholar of international standing, recognized for their contributions to research innovation and doctoral education. Editorial advisory board Awa Ndiaye, Ph.D. student and Vanier Scholar, Faculty of Education, University of Ottawa (Canada) Dr. Rony Abecidan, Co-founder of LABEL4.AI, former Ph.D. researcher, CRIStAL lab, SIGMA team (France) Arthur Strauss, Ph.D. candidate and quantum computing consultant, Centre for Quantum Technologies (Singapore Submission Guidelines Abstract (max. 250 words) and short bio (50–100 words) due by September 18, 2025 Final chapters (upon selection) due by January 30, 2026 A detailed author guide will be sent to selected contributors The edited volume is intended for submission to a recognized university press Please submit via this form: https://forms.office.com/r/ef0gh6A9Bm

Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship for Scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe
The Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship is intended for an economist from Eastern or Southern Europe who is no longer at the very beginning of their academic career but has already reached an advanced stage. The scholarship will commence in April 2025 and will last for two years. It will enable the recipient to join DICE and establish a research collaboration in one of DICE's areas of research. The scholar will receive a monthly grant of EUR 3,500 from the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation and will be provided with a workspace at DICE and access to the infrastructure necessary. Background DICE is Germany's leading academic centre for competition economics. In Europe, it ranks among the top three institutions in the field, alongside Toulouse (Toulouse School of Economics) and the Centre for Competition Policy (CCP) at the University of East Anglia. As a result, DICE is a sought-after host for visiting researchers. While researchers from Western Europe and North America typically have access to funding for research stays abroad, this is significantly less the case for scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe. However, there is a strong academic interest in competition policy in these regions—one of the European Union’s most important policy fields—along with the desire to establish academic connections with Western Europe. The scholarship aims to bridge this gap for economists who play a multiplier role in their home countries. Application The selection of the scholar will be made by the DICE Board (www.dice.hhu.de) and the Scholarship Committee of the Faculty of Business and Economics (https://www.wiwi.hhu.de/struktur/kommissionen/stipendienkommission). Please submit your application by 28 February 2025 to Dr Michael Coenen (coenen(at)dice.hhu.de).
In 2025, the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE, www.dice.hhu.de) will award a scholarship funded by the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation to scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe.
