Offer Description We are looking for a full-time pre-doctoral Research Associate to support the ERC-funded project DYMOLAMO - Dynamic Modeling of Labor Market Mobility and Human Capital Accumulation. The project is at the final stage and looks at labor mobility as a mechanism for individuals to adjust to labor market policies (e.g. job protection legislation), short-run shocks (e.g. the Great Recession), and longer run transformations (e.g. skill-biased technical change); the selectivity of immigration policies (e.g. in the United States, H1-B visas versus general immigration visas); and the human capital accumulation of immigrants (and therefore assimilation and integration).
The position will be based at UAB's Bellaterra campus in Barcelona and will be co-supervised by the Principal Investigator of the project, Prof. Joan Llull.
