In addition, you have a very good ability to express yourself in German and English.

Ideally, you have also completed an apprenticeship as a banker (or similar) and/or have gained experience (e.g. internships) with banks/asset managers. Experience with MS Office and statistical software systems (e.g. R or STATA), as well as sound econometric skills are desirable. You will also enjoy taking on responsibility, have strong organizational skills, as well as teamwork and communication skills.

About us:

The chair's research is mainly concerned with issues at the interface between finance/capital markets and environmental/ethical aspects. Thereby, an empirical approach is chosen.
