Subject: Professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg
Dear Colleague,
Please find atached the announcement [see plain text copy below] for a
professor position in Asset Pricing at University of Gothenburg. The
position is at a senior level but good not-so-senior researchers are
incourage to apply. The Center for Finance is actively trying to build
up its areas of competence and young, enthusiastic people are of an
utmost interest to us. Note that, even though the deadline is rather
close, there is a certain amount of flexibility in the application
process. We would be happy to get some strong signal of interest
rather soon (even if the full application dossier takes a little
longer to complete).
For more info on the Center for Finance please go to

I would be very greatful if you could forward this mail to anyone you
might think could be interested.
Sincerely,
Catalin Starica
PS: The Center is also looking for someone in Corporate Finance. See
