Luxembourg Université du Luxembourg Temps plein

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) at the University of Luxembourg offers a unique academic and research environment.
Rooted in Luxembourg but with a European and international outlook, teaching and research benefit from the proximity of the European institutions, Luxembourg’s leading international financial centre and its vibrant business community. Institutional and private sector partnerships, sponsored Chairs and a growing network of international partner universities make the FDEF a dynamic academic hub at the heart of Europe.

**Your role**:
The program follows the standard international format with rigorous coursework in the first year and for the remaining, up to five years, work on research projects that will make up the final thesis. The first year of the Ph.D. programme corresponds to the Master in Quantitative Economics and Finance (MQEF). All courses are in English and taught by local faculty and visiting scholars from renowned universities/business schools (e.g., Princeton, University of Chicago, etc.).

The Department of Finance is located in the financial center of Luxembourg at Campus Kirchberg. It consists of more than 15 full-time research-oriented faculty members from top economics and finance departments (e.g., New York University, Lausanne, Rochester, Carnegie Mellon). Despite its recent creation, it has become a prominent finance department in Europe over the last few years. In particular, it ranks among the top 10 European departments based on the number of top economics, finance, and mathematical statistics publications per professor over the last 5 years. It provides an international and stimulating environment with regular top research seminars and several top-quality conferences. It also benefits from close relations with other departments of the University of Luxembourg (Department of Mathematics and Department of Economics and Management). The Department of Finance also collaborates with the Luxembourg Financial Center, the European Stability Mechanism, the Central Bank of Luxembourg and other economic and financial institutions located in Luxembourg.
