The appointee would participate in academic and policy research programmes on regional development, particularly with respect to the design and regulation of national regional policies, EU Competition policy and regional aid, and the implementation of European Structural and Investment Funds.

Applicants will need to be completely fluent in both English and French. Knowledge of another European language would also be desirable. The post would be for two years in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal thereafter.
