Candidates would ideally start working in September 2022 (earlier or later starting date is also a possibility) and work for approximately two years, while applying for PhD in Finance, Economics, or another social science.
About the role:
As a research analyst, you will be supporting cutting-edge research projects in real estate finance, household finance, entrepreneurship, asset pricing, portfolio choice and other topics in Finance and Economics. You will work in close contact with researchers at SHOF and at world-leading universities in Europe and in the US. Your tasks will mainly include statistical analysis of big data, as well as data management and some administrative and IT tasks.
On the daily basis, you will work together with the research analysts' team at the Institute for Micro Data (MiDA) and mainly assist in research projects led by Professor Paolo Sodini and Assistant Professor Anastasia Girshina.
What we offer:
The 2-year program serves as an ideal bridge between university and a Ph.D. program for students interested in empirical Economics or Finance research (the program is equivalent to a "pre-doc" program in the US). You will be equipped with first-hand experience in processing big data and assisting research projects. You will work actively as a member of the MiDa team learning from each other in our collaborative and inspiring environment. You will be exposed to the research work of the whole team and encouraged to attend the academic seminars held at SSE and SHoF which are related to your interests and work. The position represents a unique opportunity to be exposed and actively contribute to economics and financial research working within a highly skilled, motivated, and diverse team of analysts. Our previous research analysts are either enrolled in top Ph.D. programs in Europe and the US or working at major industry players as data scientists and financial analysts. The position is a fixed-term employment of approximately two years. Besides salary, we offer an employee benefits package that includes pension and wellness contributions and excellent working conditions.
What we look for:
Applicants should be completing (or have recently completed) a Master's degree in Economics/Finance and have strong quantitative and statistical skills. Alternatively, you should have a strong interest in financial and economic research and be a recent academic graduate, or about to graduate, in a quantitative field of studies such as mathematics, statistics, or computer science. You should have a strong interest in new programming languages, and in acquiring statistical and data management skills. You should be familiar with data analytics using Stata or other statistical software, such as Python, R, SAS and Matlab. IT competence and knowledge in machine learning is a plus. Since the job entails great responsibility in preparing data for high quality research, we expect you to be a detail-oriented and organized person, who is able to work independently and reliably. Excellent spoken and written English is a requirement, Swedish language is a plus.
How to apply:
Please apply by submitting your CV, transcripts, and cover letter (optional) by March 20th 2022. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
