- "Supply chain disruptions, financial losses and their prevention" (PI: prof. Elisa Luciano), 24 months, Yearly salary 36481 euros. The project is in cooperation with the Politecnico di Torino, LUISS Roma and Unione Industriali.

- "Measuring, Managing and Hedging Indirect Climate-Transition Risk" (PI: prof. Luca Regis), 21 months renewable for 12 additional months, yearly salary 43082 euros. The project deals aims at tackling the problem of measuring the indirect (i.e. supply-chain related) risks to which firms are subject. Applications                 from both theoretical and empirical profiles are welcome.

- "Leverage and Interest Rates" (PI: prof. Luca Regis), 12 months, 20267 euro. We look at the effects of changes in interest rates on the capital structure of business groups. Although the project is theoretical, the empirical study of model implications is in the agenda.
