The Indiana Business Research Center at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, seeks applications for a one-year post-doc position with a possibility of a January 1, 2020 start. The candidate will be responsible for conducting research that will contribute both to the disciplines associated with regional science as well as to the regional economic development project currently funded by the Economic Development Administration at the Department of Commerce.

Regional economies are complex adaptive systems governed by networks of interdependencies, and have non-linear dynamics and trade-off attributes. The incumbent’s research will explore one key tradeoff in particular –economic efficiency and economic resilience.  While the research portfolio will be dominated by work applying a complex adaptive systems framework to model different regional sub-systems – particularly the entrepreneurial ecosystem – the candidate will also research how regions grow, adapt to shocks and respond to information and incentives. The empirical research portfolio will include several regional science disciplines, including entrepreneurship, economic resilience, inclusive growth, access to financial capital together with the determinants of poverty including the roles of automation and global competition, and the interdependence of rural and urban areas.

Qualifications: A PhD in a relevant field -- such as economics, regional science, regional planning or data science with a strong background in economics -- is required at the start of the appointment. The candidate will have extensive training in state-of-the-art economics or a related field and econometric analysis, including spatial statistics, as well as excellent communications and writing skills. Candidates with experience or training in complex adaptive systems are at an advantage. In addition, he or she will have extensive experience with a variety of statistical packages.  The candidate needs to be able to both work well independently and also to function effectively in a team setting.

The Kelley School of Business, one of the nation’s premier business schools, is based on Indiana University campuses in Bloomington and Indianapolis. Founded in 1925, the Indiana Business Research Center is the state’s leading provider of economic and demographic data and analysis. The center has won numerous awards for its informative publications and websites. More information about the IBRC may be found at www.ibrc.indiana.edu.

Interested candidates should review the application requirements and submit their application at http://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/8318 . Direct any questions to Jacob Seibel, Indiana Business Research Center, 1309 East Tenth Street, Bloomington, IN 47405 or ibrcb@indiana.edu. Applications received before November 1, 2019 will be given full consideration; however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

NURTURING TALENT 2020

The RSAI aims to continue promoting the development of Regional Science by nurturing new talent in 2020. The council has therefore pledged resources to co-finance workshops and summer institutes intended to provide substantive training to pre-doctoral researchers, including the presentation of their work and receiving feedback from senior scholars and their peers. It is expected that the selected workshops and institutes will have considerable international geographical coverage.

Organizers of workshops and summer schools fulfilling the above aims are encouraged to submit a two-page case for support within November 4, 2019 to the RSAI secretariat (rsai@apdr.pt). Individuals are encouraged to consult with their national and supranational sections to allow better coordination among different initiatives.

All applications will be reviewed by the Committee and will have to be formally approved by the RSAI Council. Their decision will be final.

BUILDING BRIDGES IN REGIONAL SCIENCE

2020 conference participation support

The RSAI facilitates the participation of researchers from low-income and lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank: https://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups#Low_income) at the five largest Regional Science Conferences in 2020: LARSA, PRSCO, ERSA, NARSC, and the World Congress.

RSAI will provide a subsidy up to USD 500 (or the equivalent in other currencies) to selected researchers. This is likely to cover the conference registration fee and some local travel costs. Alternative means of financing will have to be sought for international travel and accommodation.

Only one author of a submitted paper presentation proposal can apply for a subsidy.

Interested researchers should upload a two-page CV plus a one-page motivation –including a budget with proposed sources of funding of the conference-related registration, travel and accommodation costs – within 30 days of receiving confirmation of the acceptance of the researcher’s abstract by the conference organizers.

Applicants should have had a paper accepted for presentation at the conference.

All applications, to be submitted at the following link:

will be reviewed by the Committee and will have to be formally approved by the RSAI Council. Their decision will be final.

Recently, the OECD Trento centre has revamped its internship programme making it more flexible and comprehensive. Now, the applications are accepted any time for four 3-month internship periods during the year. We can be flexible in terms of the start and the end dates. The original internship duration can be extended several times up to 12 months of total duration.

The nearest application deadline is 1 December 2019.

We offer two internship streams:

1. The Spatial Productivity Lab (SPL): a research-oriented programme with a strong empirical focus on regional development and productivity; currently, we work on several projects that leverage the micro-level and unconventional data.
2. Capacity building: a stream of work closer aligned with subnational (regional and local) policy-making, evidence-based policy design and peer knowledge exchange.
