Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Econometrics

Department of Economics

Located in Sydney, the Department of Economics at Macquarie University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join a research project led by Professor Shuping Shi . The project has two research directions: (i) developing and applying econometric methods for counterfactual policy evaluation when outcomes follow nonstationary processes, and (ii) advancing high-frequency econometric methods for studying financial-market dynamics using intraday data. The successful candidate will contribute to one or both directions.

The successful candidate will join Professor Shi’s research team at Macquarie and work closely with her international network of collaborators. The Fellow will be expected to produce high-quality research for publication in leading journals in the field, while also contributing to research training and supervising postgraduate students.

Salary: AUD $112,550–$127,138 per annum, plus 17% employer superannuation and annual leave loading. Salary within the range will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

• A PhD, completed or near completion by the commencement date, in econometrics, statistics, or a related field.
• A strong record of research achievement in econometrics, statistics or a related field, evidenced by high-quality publications, working papers and/or a doctoral thesis.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct research independently and work collaboratively.
• Experience presenting research findings at academic conferences or seminars.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• Strong computing and programming skills, including proficiency in one or more of MATLAB, R or Python.

Deadline: 4 December 2026. Review of applications will begin after the deadline and shortlisted candidates may be invited to interview virtually from mid-December.
