The Department of Finance and Economics at Hanken School of Economics is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in economics<\/strong>. We welcome candidates from all fields of specialization. The position is based at Hanken\u2019s Helsinki campus, starting on 1 August 2026<\/strong> or later by agreement. The position is for two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hanken is a leading, internationally accredited university known for its international orientation and outstanding research quality relative to its size. We have close cooperation with the business community and an active alumni network with over 14,000 alumni working in more than 70 countries. Our master’s programme is ranked number 60 in the \u201cMasters in Management 2025\u201d ranking by the Financial Times. We offer education at bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, and doctoral levels at two locations: Helsinki and Vaasa.\u00a0<\/p>\n Finland has been ranked both as one of the best-governed countries in the world (Legatum Prosperity Index, 2023) and as the happiest country in the world (World Happiness Report 2026). This is due, among other things, to the high level of equality and safety; free, high-quality education at primary, secondary, and university levels; affordable healthcare and childcare; and the competitiveness and innovativeness of Finnish business life. Helsinki has been ranked as the third best city in the world in terms of quality of life by the British magazine Monocle in 2021 and ninth in the world (fourth in Europe) in terms of liveability by The Economist in 2016 and 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n Research in Economics at Hanken and Helsinki GSE<\/strong><\/p>\n As a member of the Helsinki Graduate School of Economics (GSE), Hanken\u2019s economics unit is well integrated into a community of approximately 50 postdoctoral researchers in economics across Hanken, Aalto University, and the University of Helsinki. The Economicum building, the heart of Helsinki GSE\u2019s activities, along with the surrounding blocks, houses an additional three economic research institutes. Hanken\u2019s Department of Finance and Economics includes units in both finance and economics. Researchers in all these units publish in internationally highly regarded journals in economics and finance.\u00a0<\/p>\n Researchers at Helsinki GSE work within eleven different research groups that organize seminars and coordinate research in their respective specializations. Hanken\u2019s researchers lead or actively participate in a subset of these groups: Industrial Organization, Behavioral Economics, Microeconomics, Labor Economics. These areas are also focal points for Hanken\u2019s economics unit. The Behavioral Economics research group maintains the research infrastructure Helsinki LABBET, intended for experimental studies on economic decision-making.\u00a0<\/p>\n Teaching in Economics at Hanken and the Helsinki GSE<\/strong><\/p>\n Hanken operates in both Swedish and English and offers bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, and doctoral programmes. Teaching in economics at the master\u2019s and doctoral levels is conducted in cooperation with Aalto University and the University of Helsinki within the framework of Helsinki GSE. Helsinki GSE also has a national mission to offer doctoral courses to PhD students at universities outside the capital region. Economists at Hanken contribute to fulfilling this national mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n Courses offered by the economics unit are highly relevant to an ambitious business school. The unit specializes in industry studies, behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic analysis of innovation and entrepreneurship, and analysis of the financial sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since 2019, the economics unit has belonged to the Department of Finance and Economics. We are developing teaching and research to better exploit synergies between the subjects (finance, economics, and statistics) within the department.\u00a0<\/p>\n The unit has a strong research focus, which is also emphasized in Hanken\u2019s strategy. Research is carried out within the framework of Helsinki GSE. In addition to top journals in our focus areas, our researchers have published in leading journals such as\u00a0American Economic Review, American Economic Journals, Rand Journal of Economics, Review of Economics and Statistics, Quantitative Economics<\/em>, and other FT50-listed journals in business disciplines such as Management Science, Leadership Quarterly, Marketing Science, and Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice<\/em>, as well as highly regarded general science journals such as Nature, Science, and PNAS<\/em>. Our goal is to conduct high-quality academic research relevant to society and business.\u00a0<\/p>\n Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in economics or a related field. When assessing applicants\u2019 merits, research, teaching, activity within the scientific community, and societal impact will be considered. The main focus will be on the applicant\u2019s potential to conduct high-quality scientific research in central areas of economics and the potential to deliver high-quality teaching in central areas of economics. Applicants must have fluent English skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n Academic staff at Hanken are expected to conduct and supervise scientific research, provide high-quality academic teaching, follow developments in their field, and participate actively in the academic community and society.\u00a0<\/p>\n The full-time position has an annual workload of 1,612 hours. During the academic year, we expect you to be present at the department in Helsinki at least three working days per week to actively contribute to the research and teaching environment. Teaching duties are assigned based on the unit\u2019s needs and the teacher\u2019s expertise. Expected teaching duties correspond to 6-10 ECTS courses per academic year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Salary<\/strong><\/p>\n The salary is based on the Finnish university salary system. The exact level depends on qualifications and performance. At the postdoctoral level, the starting annual salary level is approximately \u20ac45,000 (including holiday compensation). Depending on the candidate\u2019s qualifications (research, teaching, societal impact, and scientific community engagement), the salary may be higher. Hanken supports the postdoctoral researcher with a start-up research budget. Additional funding for research, travel, and teaching development can be applied for. Occupational health care and pension contributions are included in the employment. Hanken rewards excellence in research and teaching.\u00a0<\/p>\n Recruitment Process and timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n Applications should be submitted electronically through Hanken\u2019s recruitment system LAURA no later than April 30,\u00a02026<\/strong>.
