Appointment: Full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral appointment for the 2027-28 Academic Year, renewable for an additional year contingent on performance and funding Start Date: 1 September 2027 Application Deadline: 1 December 2026 The Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs and the Lal Initiative in Global Entrepreneurship The Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs is an internationally recognized hub for research and teaching on the world outside the United States, advancing cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research and innovative education programs. This year, we are launching the Lal Initiative in Global Entrepreneurship to further world-class research and pedagogy on international business. We aim to reach a diverse international audience of private sector and government professionals, policymakers and academics.

We encourage candidates trained in social science disciplines (e.g., economics, history, sociology, political s
