CONTEXT
The University of Namur is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher (1 year) in macroeconomics, as part of the ARC-funded research project “The Impact of Climate Change on Economic Expectations and Behavior: Evidence and Implications for
Macro-Finance Models” (I(CE)2IB).
This interdisciplinary project investigates how climate-related risks—physical, transition, and liability—affect macroeconomic stability and investor behavior. It bridges macroeconomic modeling and empirical analyses to inform sustainable policy.

RESEARCH FOCUS
The selected candidate will work on developing DSGE macroeconomic models that incorporate climate factors and imperfectly rational expectations, with the objective of assessing the impact of climate-related risks on inflation, inflation expectations, and macroeconomic
stability. The ideal candidate will have solid expertise in applied research and an interest in deriving policy-relevant recommendations from their work.
This position is embedded in the Department of Economics and the institute of Development, Finance and Public Policies (DeFiPP) an institute with over 20 active scholars in economics, finance, and macroeconomics.

JOB
• Develop and implement DSGE models with climate shocks and learning mechanism
• Analyze the transmission channels through which climate risks influence inflation and macroeconomic volatility, with a focus on the role of imperfectly rational beliefs.
• Simulate alternative policy scenarios to identify effective strategies for managing climatedriven inflation volatility
• Contribute to project publications and joint research activities
• Engage in internal workshops and conferences
• Interact with PhD students and faculty within the project team

OFFER
• A 1-year full-time postdoctoral contract
• Competitive gross salary compared to other European research and academic institutions
• Access to computing resources, support, and office space
• Opportunities for international collaboration
• Possibility of co-authored publications within the project

Skills/Qualifications

• PhD in economics or related field, with specialization in macroeconomic modeling
 • Strong command of DSGE modeling and interest in expectation formation, learning, and climate economics
 • Excellent programming skills in Dynare, Matlab, or Python
 • Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively
 • Track record of academic writing and publications
 • Mobility rule: the candidate must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Belgium for more than 24 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the start of the postdoctoral contract
