Tenure-Track Professorship in Development Economics
Successful candidates will have a strong background in the theories, methodologies, and empirical research of heterodox and development economics. We expect research expertise in at least one of the following fields: postcolonial political economy, feminist economics, critical political economy, inequality, or financialisation and critical macrofinance. We are seeking excellent candidates with proven competencies in qualitative and quantitative methods who have regional field experience in the Global South. We expect an openness to inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration aligned with the research priorities of the faculty and the university.
Research at the department challenges classical and mainstream approaches to ‘development’ and engages with transdisciplinary perspectives, heterodox theoretical concepts and methodological approaches to ‘development’ and global inequalities that go beyond disciplinary boundaries and a simple North-South divide. The complex subject ‘development’ is approached by integrating political, historical, economic, social, feminist and cultural perspectives that allow the analysis of inequalities, multifaceted processes of social change and transformation, and power relations on a global, regional and local level. The department aims at collaborating within the Faculty of Social Sciences and beyond, e.g. the Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics, the Department of African Studies, the Department of East Asian Studies, as well as with the Vienna University of Economics and Business, and with the BOKU University.
