RESEARCH
FELLOWSHIPS
(in Money, Banking and Finance)
The Ente "Luigi Einaudi"
invites applications for research fellowships to be carried
out at the Ente's facilities in Rome.
The fellowships are offered to highly qualified Italian
citizens and citizens of any other European Union Country
who have recently completed or are enrolled in a Ph.D.
program in Economics outside Italy and could profit from
spending part of their time in Italy to advance their
research or complete their thesis.
Each
fellowship provides a grant of 1,600 Euro per month before
tax and the duration is from 4 to 24 months.
Applicants should complete the application form (downloadable
from http://www.enteluigieinaudi.it/formazione/ApplicationForm.zip)
and send it together with a Curriculum Vitae, an outline
of their research project, an indication of the preferred
duration, two letters of reference and two copies of any
recent papers or other material showing their line of
research.
Research projects should be in the areas of monetary economics,
finance and banking, and related fields. Both applied
and theoretical projects will be considered.
The application and the full documentation (in English
or in Italian) should be sent:
- either via surface mail (Ente "Luigi Einaudi", Via Due
Macelli 73, 00187 Rome - Italy);
- or via e-mail, in PDF format or Word 97 compatible (einaudil@tin.it).
The letters of reference must be forwarded directly to
the Ente by the referee.
Applications can be submitted at any time and will immediately
be considered on merit. Successful applicants will be
offered a fellowship until all available vacancies have
been taken up or offered a post at a future date as vacancies
come up again.

The
Ente "Luigi Einaudi" is a foundation sponsored by the Bank
of Italy and the Italian Banking Association (ABI). It was
founded in 1965 to honour Luigi Einaudi. Its purpose is
to foster the advanced research and training of students
in the fields of both theoretical and applied economics.
The Ente has traditionally provided financial help to young
economists. Many Italian economists have been supported
by the Ente in their studies abroad. In recent years the
Ente has launched a new program aimed at encouraging top
quality research at its own facilities. The foundation is
conveniently located in the centre of Rome. It is near the
Bank of Italy and not far from ABI, and maintains close
links with the Research Departments of both institutions.
Researchers are encouraged to maintain contacts with economists
at the Research Department of the Bank of Italy and to attend
seminars at the Bank, besides attending those organized
at the Ente. They will have access to the Bank of Italy
library and to a wealth of datasets ranging from microeconomic
survey data on households and firms to aggregate time series.
The Ente also promotes research projects on specific topics
of scientific and policy relevance. Currently, a large-scale
research project on the future of the European Banking Industry
is underway. The program is coordinated by Luigi Guiso (University
of Sassari and CEPR) and is run by a scientific committee
composed of Professors Ignazio Musu (University of Venice),
Marcello De Cecco (University of Rome), Marco Onado (University
of Bologna) and Daniele Terlizzese and Roberto Violi (Bank
of Italy, Research Department). |
