We are looking for a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow to join the OB department on INSEAD’s campus in France starting September 2023 with a special focus on work place inequality.

We tackle these questions in different empirical settings using different methods, including analyses of large archival datasets, lab experiments, and field experiments.
