Any idea what field the sixth UBS chair will be in? Or is it a completely open search?
Zurich just got another 25 million from UBS, in addition to the 100 million they got in 2012. Will allow them to fund a sixth UBS chair and expand their graduate school.

Will they now completely escape the German competition? They were already far ahead of everyone else in the latest ranking.

That is true in many fields .- not mainstream Macro where they are average, decent, lacking when compared to other places in DE or even CH.

They should hire a very good mainstream macroeconomist then. Maybe there is a very good mainstream macroeconomist who is interested in returning to the German speaking world. But I don't know.

Applicable in Germany too?

The only problem is the accumulation of supervisors, who come from a narrow set of universities (this is a global and not explicitly a german problem). In addition, this also translates into policy counselling, where this trend leads to less diverse policy counselling and might also be one reason for the political "lack of alternatives" (e.g., A. Merkel in the financial crisis) -
They have Jaimovich and Hemous in core macro and just hired Ferrari on the junior market.
They do have ongoing senior searches in macro, trade, applied, etc. so I'm sure they'll continue to make offers, especially this and next year and the market might be particularly favorable to them.

In which dark corner was this position from last year advertised? https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/Universitaet/Aktuelles/Stellenausschreibungen/Verfahrensstand/wiss2868.html
Blimey, it wasn't on the Ausschreibungs-Newsletter of DHV! What happened there?
This is pure speculation and it will be difficult to ever put numbers on this, but I think this is what might have happened: a department knows that a professor will retire in 5/6 years and then attracts temporary funding for 5 years. This allows hiring on a W2+tenure track position now, i.e. another colleague in the department for the next five years who would not be there otherwise. The temporary and external funding for these initial five years comes from an external source and is tied to an individual person/name. Potentially, s.o. generated this and approached the university - or the other way around. In any case, in this situation the faculty cannot openly advertise the position because then anyone would apply, including individuals clearly better than the person who got the initial 5yr funding. At the same time, the post needs to be advertised somewhere to tell the funders that they are paying for a top promising candidate. Its tenure track and not tenure anyway. Seems like everyone got the right deal for the first five years. But after that there is a high chance that tenure is granted, this can often happen without another external call/competition. The bottom line: A tenured position that would have become available in 5/6 years is being filled earlier at the cost of not being able to openly advertise and hire the best possible candidate. Since everyone involved in the decision making right now focuses on the gains for the next five years, and already has a permanent job, this seems acceptable. But it is seriously bad news for good people without tenured positions out there who then wonder why seemingly available positions are not openly advertised. But the real cost is not the lack of advertising right now but that the position wont be there in 5 years time. Similar mechanisms might apply to situations of the temporary and nationally funded positions. I doubt many additional permanent positions will be created in the long-run. And I don't think this is good news for quality.

This is a nice story about some (generous) donator with a specific person in mind, but to me it appears at odds with the initial statement in the add:
--
An der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften ist aufgrund des Erfolgs im Rahmen des Bund-Länder-Programms zur Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses (Tenure-Track-Programm) zum Wintersemester 2020/21 eineProfessur (W2 mit Tenure Track) für Arbeitsmarktökonomik
zu besetzen.

Getting one one the bund-länder positions is not easy for a department, maybe in making this happen there was a need to argue for any particular individual. But I agree, and as I wrote, this is pure speculation. I just refuse the believe that this position was not openly advertised by accident

Don’t they have a current junior prof in labor?
