The successful candidates will be admitted to the Master's program in Economics at the University of Barcelona. The Master's program is recognized by the Ministry of Education and the PhD program has received an award of excellence by the Ministry of Science.

The Master's program comprises core subjects during the first year (Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Mathematics and Econometrics) and three optional subjects from a list. During the second year there are also optional subjects, apart from the Master's thesis. We expect the candidate to be engaged in the field of "Public Economics" (optional subjects: Public Finance I: Public spending, Public Finance II: Taxation, Fiscal Federalism, Political Economics, and Health Economics). During the PhD period, the candidate will have two supervisors: one from the IEB, and another from the IEB research network. During the third and fourth years, candidates will be
encouraged to undertake short periods as visiting researchers at institutions connected with the IEB.

Participation in the Research Program "Fiscal Federalism" provides a unique opportunity to help address issues such as the design of the financial system of sub-national governments, the evaluation of decentralization in the provision of public services, the analysis of inter-governmental tax competition, and the political economy of
sub-national policy making. The IEB also provides an excellent research-oriented environment, as it regularly organizes research events such as seminars, workshops and summer schools. The candidate will be encouraged to actively participate in all these events.

Applicants should preferably hold a Bachelor degree in Economics, and have a good knowledge of English. Only complete applications will be considered. Candidates must provide the following attachments: academic transcript / statement of purpose / curriculum vitae / reference letters

Applications should be submitted to the following address before July 15th (at latest) to ieb@ub.edu indicating in the title of the message `Application to Doctoral Scholarship' .

Prospective candidates should have a proven track record related to one of the following research directions:

- Component Model
This research direction has the main responsibility for developing ProCom, the component model to which all PROGRESS activities are linked.

- Formal Modelling and Analysis
This research direction works in the area of formal models, analysis techniques, and tools for verification of embedded systems.

- Timing Analysis
This research direction deals with code-level timing analysis techniques for components and component-based systems, mainly Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis.

- Dependability
This research direction focuses on techniques for analyzing and ensuring dependability of component based real-time systems.

- Deployment
This research direction provides mappings and translations from the software design to executing code on particular target platforms.

Description:

The Max Planck Institute for Public International Law (Heidelberg) offers 2 research positions in the interdisciplinary research group on "Law and Governance of Development Cooperation" , starting from October 2009.

The research group under the guidance of Dr. Philipp Dann will be composed of lawyers, economists and other social scientists. It will study the normative framework of development cooperation and the process of institution building therein. The economist on the team should
develop her own project in the field of institutional economics of foreign aid by focusing, for example, on the analysis of donor-recipient interactions or the role of evaluation systems in foreign aid programmes. The concrete topic should evolve in substantive discussion within the group and should allow for synergies with other studies in the project."
