AIAS is the coordinator of the major, interdisciplinary research project Growing INequalities' Impacts (GINI), which is funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme (February 2010–January 2013). The aim of this project is to analyse changing inequalities, their implications and policy options in an internationally comparative way and a longer-term perspective. It brings together a large team of eminent researchers from 25 EU-countries, the
To reinforce the team working at AIAS for GINI research and management we offer a 1.5 to 2-year postdoctoral position that will contribute to:

- integrating the findings of 1) and 2) with the results of analyses of social, cultural and political impacts, and
- drawing policy implications from 1) to 3).
- publishing results in academic journals, presenting them to academic audiences, and assisting in writing reports on the scientific output for the European Commission.
The enthusiastic new postdoc will work in a mutual division of labour with the other members of the GINI team at AIAS. We hope the person will take an active interest in researching the mechanisms affecting the distributions of incomes and of earnings in a perspective that such mechanisms may differ for top incomes, the middle and the bottom of the distribution. In particular, the role of taxation in explaining the evolution of top income shares deserves attention. We encourage the post-doc's own creative research ideas within the scope of the project.
