Two PhD students (f/m/d) (75%) for the ifo Center for the Economics of Education

To strengthen our team, we are looking for two doctoral students to start October 1, 2025, or earlier. The positions are for a doctorate in economics at the chair of the department head Prof. Dr. Ludger Wößmann at the LMU and his deputy, Dr. Henning Hermes, as well as for collaboration on research projects in the field of the economics of education with a special focus on field experimental research.

Our team investigates the causes and effects of education from an economic perspective. How can the state enable people to benefit from the opportunities of an open society? Our team would like to answer this question with the help of economic analyses of the effects of education on prosperity and equal opportunities. Help us and join our team!
