Research Fellowships

The Center for Studies in Economics and Finance (CSEF) and the Department of Economics and Statistics (DISES) of the University of Naples Federico II invite applications from candidates of any nationality for (i) two Post-Doctoral Fellowships in the fields of finance and/or macroeconomics, and (ii) a contract for one tenure-track Assistant Professorship in the field of finance, starting in the Summer of 2026.

The Post-Doctoral Fellowships last 3 years, and are designed for candidates who just completed their PhD or are going to complete it by the early Summer of 2026. The Assistant Professor contract lasts 6 years, with potential promotion to Associate Professor at any time after the end of the third year, and is designed for candidates who have already a solid publication record.

Knowledge of Italian is not required for the positions. Successful candidates are expected to publish their research in top peer-reviewed journals and to actively contribute to the intellectual environment of CSEF and DISES. The teaching load will be approximately 40 hours per year for Research Fellows, and between 60 and 90 hours per year for the Assistant Professor.

CSEF and DISES are closely integrated and located in common premises at the University of Naples Federico II. CSEF is a research center directed by Marco Pagano, and is a joint venture of the University of Naples Federico II, Bocconi University, and the University of Salerno. DISES is directed by Antonio Acconcia and offers undergraduate, Master, and PhD courses in Economics and Finance.
