The Junior Researcher will contribute to the scientific debate on job mobility in relation to occupation characteristics and workers' well-being. Specifically, the project will involve the analysis of the dynamics of labour mobility, particularly voluntary separations/quits (as related to the pandemic containment measures such as the temporary freeze on layoffs), with a focus on job quality at the occupational level, job design factors (including remote working), job meaning, subjective well-being and mental health, and work-life balance. The main tasks that the researcher will have to carry out are: critical review of existing studies on the socioeconomic and health determinants of voluntary separations/quits; processing of administrative data from job flows and individual microdata from surveys; estimation of econometric models, drafting of scientific reports and papers. Knowledge and mastery of advanced methods of microeconometrics, panel data analysis and causal inference are therefore required.

PhD students who are approaching the end of their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply.
