Department of Economics Chair Dirk Bergemann recently announced that Anna Sanktjohanser will join the department for the 2017-18 academic year. Sanktjohanser will first serve as a Cowles Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, and then as an Assistant Professor the following year.

“I was overwhelmed and very happy when getting the news that I had been offered a position,” said Sanktjohanser. “It is a great privilege to be joining such a fantastic theory group.”
