The Smith School of Business at Queen’s University invites applications for up to two Postdoctoral Fellow in Business Economics (PDFBE) positions in the Business Economics unit. Each appointment will last for two academic years.
We are particularly interested in applicants with research interests in industrial organization and organizational economics, but other fields of applied microeconomics are encouraged to apply. The PDFBE will work under the supervision of Dr. Ricard Gil and Dr. Henry Schneider.
The PDFBE will be expected to live in Kingston and fully participate in the academic life of the Business Economics unit, the Smith School of Business, and Queen’s University. The PDFBE is expected to be independently motivated to execute high-quality research and to collaborate in developing research ideas with faculty. The PDFBE is also expected to teach in the undergraduate Commerce program, but with an efficient schedule that compresses any teaching into one term with limited preparations. There is also potential to teach graduate courses if interested.

The City
The University is situated on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe, in historic Kingston on the shores of Lake Ontario. Queen’s University is an integral part of the Kingston community, with the campus nestled in the core of the city, only a 10-minute walk to downtown. Kingston’s residents enjoy an outstanding quality of life with a wide range of cultural and creative opportunities. Kingston is a unique Canadian city of 125,000 with a distinct blend of history, recreation, industry, and learning. Kingston offers unique waterfront living with many recreational opportunities. It is a 2.5-hour drive or train ride to the commercial, industrial, and political hubs of Toronto, Montreal, and the nation’s capital, Ottawa, and a 30-minute drive from the international bridge linking Ontario and upstate New York. The city is also the origin of the historic Rideau Canal system – a UNESCO International Heritage site.
