A thesis that answers a real market question, and a field in which to test it.
Doctoral thesis · three to four years · Luxembourg and partner university · remote working possible
The context
Why this position exists
The Luxembourg property market, project financing and the governance of family estates raise questions that academic literature has barely touched, for lack of access to field data. Aurels proposes to bring the two together: a thesis within a doctoral school, co-supervised by a doctor of economics from the firm, and grounded in real files.
Your role
What you will do
- Define with your supervisors a research question useful to the market and publishable.
- Build and use original data, respecting the confidentiality owed to clients.
- Apply the tools of econometrics and applied statistics, and discuss their limits.
- Publish, present your work at conferences, and contribute to the Research division’s analyses.
At Aurels
What you will find with us
Access to the field that few doctoral candidates obtain. Demanding co-supervision, attentive to method as much as to results. Advisory experience that opens, after the thesis, an academic career as well as careers in finance.
