Applicants should have a PhD in Actuarial Science, Mathematical Finance, (applied) Mathematics or Statistics, or expect to obtain such a PhD soon. Since we focus on quantitative aspects of risk measurement, strong mathematical skills are essential. Candidates will be evaluated on their potential for, and/or record of, excellence in research and teaching and willingness to collaborate and interact with members of the team. Research is expected to be aimed at international top journals. Visibility at relevant international academic conferences and experience in teaching or thesis supervision (especially in data science / machine learning) are highly appreciated.

Assistant Professor appointments are six-year, tenure-track positions, with tenure based on demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. The Amsterdam School of Economics (ASE) offers competitive European salaries. In the first three years, the gross monthly salary will typically range from €4,728 to €6,433 (salary scale 11), plus 16.3% in holiday and year-end allowances. Compensation is based on a 38-hour workweek and follows the salary scales and the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Researchers from outside the Netherlands can apply for a substantial temporary tax reduction. The University of Amsterdam offers an attractive pension scheme. Teaching loads are moderate and most instruction is in English; successful candidates are expected to learn Dutch and be able to teach in Dutch by the end of the tenure track. We provide assistance with housing and offer career support for partners. More information about working at the UvA is available on the university website, here.
