Ideal candidates should possess a strong record of accomplishment in
research, with publication in leading journals (the list of leading
journals for the field and linked to the requirements for the habilitation

consulting laboratory that represents one of the most relevant and
innovative (in the Italian system) aspects of the Department’s project.

Ideal candidates should have research interests falling under the topics
covered by the project “Statistical methods and models for complex data”
with a focus on both the methodological aspects and the economic
interpretation of statistical analyses. For instance, the analysis of
marketing and business data when traditional data sources are integrated
with social media and social network data. Other examples are the analysis
of markets functioning from the point of view of consumers or from the
producer’s side, building on geo-localized data and/or survey data, for
purposes linked, for instance, to the design of marketing campaigns.
Finally, the analysis of financial markets where trading data are
integrated with textual news data, social media tweets, and economic data
available at lower frequencies.

Teaching experience at the undergraduate and post-graduate level is
required, as well as an excellent level of English knowledge (both oral and
written). The yearly teaching load amount at 120 hours, split between
undergraduate, master and PhD courses. The minimum gross amount per year of
the salary is € 72,430. The net income will depend on several elements
including income taxes, local taxes, and tax exemptions depending on the

project (see the link above for some details on the project structure).
