Subject: Job opening Vienna

Dear all,

the Vienna University is looking for a full Prof. in development economics.

The hiring committee is rather conservative and mainstream with a strong
focus on publications, but the position itself is mainly located in the
International Development Institute, which is very progressive, definetely
feminist and non-heterodox. A challenge for the application.

You can contact me for further questions, see the official job description
below,

best,
Karin
