Unser Netzwerk
Über 2.000 Research Fellows und Affiliates aus mehr als 450 Forschungseinrichtungen bilden das globale IZA-Netzwerk am LISER – das weltgrößte in der Arbeitsmarktforschung.
Netzwerkstruktur
Research Fellows
Renommierte Ökonominnen und Ökonomen aus aller Welt sind dem IZA-Netzwerk als Research Fellows eng verbunden. In seiner neuen Struktur am LISER führt das Netzwerk seine exzellente Arbeit fort: Die Fellows bereichern die global rezipierten Publikationsreihen, engagieren sich in hochkarätigen Konferenzen und realisieren gemeinsame Forschungsprojekte. Ein dediziertes Gästeprogramm wird künftig zudem den direkten wissenschaftlichen Austausch zwischen dem Netzwerk und dem Forschungspersonal vor Ort am LISER intensivieren.
Research Affiliates
Neben den etablierten Research Fellows lädt das IZA-Netzwerk talentierte Nachwuchsforschende dazu ein, als Research Affiliates zu den Netzwerkaktivitäten beizutragen.
Membership FAQ
How to become a member of the IZA@LISER Network
1. What are the benefits of network membership?
Our network members particularly value the opportunity to pre-publish their latest work in the IZA Discussion Paper Series, the largest and most influential working paper series in the field. We are also currently planning to expand the opportunities to benefit from IZA@LISER membership through research visits, jointly organized events and other forms of collaboration.
2. What is the difference between Fellow and Affiliate status?
While IZA Fellows are usually well-established researchers with a strong publication record, junior researchers who recently completed their PhD can become IZA Affiliates. As their academic career progresses, they can be promoted to IZA Fellow status following a routine evaluation process. IZA Affiliates do not need to be nominated again for IZA Fellow status.
3. As a non-member, can I apply for membership?
We do not accept applications. If you are interested in joining our network, you would need to be nominated by an incumbent IZA Fellow and supported by a second IZA Fellow.
4. How does the nomination process work?
All IZA Research Fellows can nominate potential new members every year during the month of February using our platform at network.iza.org. Nominations must include the nominee's personal details, CV and a letter of recommendation, as well as the name and e-mail address of the second nominator, who will then receive an upload link for her/his recommendation letter. Only complete nominations will be evaluated by a rotating committee of IZA members.
5. How long does the evaluation process take?
The process usually takes a few weeks after the end of the nomination period.
6. Who will be informed about the outcome of the evaluation?
IZA Fellows can check the status of their nominations any time at network.iza.org. Nominees will only be notified if the evaluation is positive and leads to an invitation to join the IZA network.
7. Can the same person be nominated multiple times?
If a nomination was unsuccessful, the same person can be nominated again in the following years.
8. Does membership in the IZA network expire?
Membership is granted for an initial period of five years and will renew for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party.
