Contexte de travail
The position is hosted at HEC Paris, a world-class business school located in Jouy-en-Josas, near Paris. The postdoctoral researcher will be affiliated with the GREGHEC laboratory (UMR CNRS 2959) and fully integrated into the research activities of the Department of Economics and Decision Sciences.
This position is part of the international project UFAI – The Uncertain Future and the Affective Imagination, funded by the ANR (France), ESRC (UK), and SSHRC (Canada). The project brings together researchers from HEC Paris, the University of Waterloo (Canada), the University of Warwick (UK), and the University of Bath (UK).
