Seminars & Events at IMT
 

Young Research Fellows Days
Economics, Markets, Institutions

On two consecutive weekends in February, IMT will sponsor seminars series featuring job market candidates for Assistant Professor and Post-doctoral Fellow positions in the area of Economics, Markets, and Institutions (EMI).

Short-listed candidates come to us as the culmination of a competitive selection process that started with an initial application pool of nearly 300 and continued with over 50 interviews conducted in Chicago and London.

Following last year's format, candidates will make presentations of recent research papers. Seminars are open to all who would like to attend.

The first set of seminars will take place on 16-17 February and the second set on 23-24 February.

Please find below the seminar schedule for 16-17 February. The schedule for 23-24 February will be available shortly. All presentations will take place in classroom 6 of the San Micheletto Building.
