The research unit Accountancy, Finance & Insurance (AFI) is looking for a colleague for the research group Finance that will assist in the research and teaching activities on the Brussels campus. AFI is an interdisciplinary group (professors, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students), across our four campuses in Antwerp, Brussels, Kortrijk and Leuven. Our staff strives for high quality research and education in audit, (management) accounting, tax, banking, investments and actuarial science.

Project

We are looking for a full-time employee for a fixed term in the Finance-group campus Brussels. You will obtain a temporary appointment as an assistant and your assignment consists of a combination of research (50%) and teaching (50%) in an intellectually enriching, open, and creative environment.
In terms of research, you will develop your own research agenda within the domain of Sustainable Finance/Development Finance. You will produce high-quality academic papers with the aim of publishing them in leading academic journals and actively seek external research funding.
Your teaching assignment will be embedded in the Bachelor/Master of Business Administration and Business Sciences programs. Specifically, you will take on a significant supporting role in the course units Financial Institutions and Markets (HBA02C), Corporate Finance (HBA18C) and Ondernemingsfinanciering (HSH94A). Since some of these teaching assignments are conducted in Dutch, it is important that you are fluent in Dutch. Additionally, you will propose master’s thesis topics and supervise master’s theses during the academic year 2024-2025.

Profile

  • You qualify for or are actively enrolled in the doctoral program in Business Economics at FEB KU Leuven.
  • You have research skills in both qualitative and quantitative research. Especially, knowledge of quantitative data analysis is an important requirement.
  • You have experience in independently developing scientific research.
  • You can work independently as well as in a team. Successful candidates have well-developed social skills that they successfully use to collaborate with colleagues in various settings.
  • You have excellent knowledge of both Dutch and English (both written and spoken) and excellent presentation skills. Since teaching assistance must also be provided in Dutch, knowledge of Dutch is a clear requirement.

Offer

We offer a full-time appointment as an assistant for a term determined in mutual agreement and not exceeding the maximum duration of 2 years. Salary (scale 43) and conditions are in line with KU Leuven's pay scales and competitive by international standards. The appointment is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2024.
