Student Research Assistant
Join our team as a Student Research Assistant (m/f/d) on a basis of 20 to 40 hours per month. In this position, you will support ongoing research and teaching projects at our institute. In particular, student research assistants are involved in literature research, preparation and handling of data, preparation of manuscripts and presentations, as well as administrative tasks.
Doctoral Student / Staff Researcher
In addition to the items listed above, you are expected to:
- Have completed a Master’s degree in business or economics, or find yourself close to completion.
- Contribute to the teaching curriculum at MISES.
We encourage our research staff members to pursue their doctorate and support them accordingly. Next to the traditional doctorate that is conducted only at a chair or institute, the University of Mannheim also offers doctoral studies through a structured doctoral program at the Graduate School of Economics & Social Sciences (GESS). A key advantage of this program is the extensive course portfolio that facilitates the acquisition of strong methodological and technical foundations for doctoral students. Detailed information about the program can be found on the GESS website: www.gess.uni-mannheim.de.
Please note that if you are interested in pursuing the doctoral program at the GESS, you must apply not only to MISES but also to the GESS within the application deadlines of the program. The application deadline for a start within Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB) in September 2023 is on 31.03.2023 and there is an early application deadline on 15 January 2023. Applications from candidates who are not accepted in the early round will be reviewed again with all other applications after 31 March 2023.
Please also note that the faculty members at MISES are affiliated with the area of Accounting. An application to the accounting track at CDSB is thus the best way to indicate your interest in pursuing a doctorate at MISES. Yet, MISES is also open for applications from other tracks and disciplines.
Post-Doctoral Researcher
In addition to the items listed above, you are expected to:
- Have completed a doctoral degree or find yourself close to completion.
- Demonstrate the ability to conduct cutting-edge research publishable in well recognized academic journals.
