hela Sverige Visa alla jobb hos Handelshögskolan i Stockholm i Stockholm As a research assistant, you will work on several projects for both local and international researchers in finance and economics at the Stockholm School of Economics.
You will use a combination of statistical analysis and big data to investigate research topics. The topics include the behavioral economic drivers of debt and default, as well as the relationship between corporate financial decisions, mental illness, and the risk-taking of employees and their families.
The tasks consist of managing large amounts of data and programming economic and statistical models in your programming language of choice (e.g. Python, R). The analysis is quantitative, and the work fluctuates in intensity.
We want you: a recent academic graduate, or about to graduate, with a focus on (financial) mathematics, mathematical finance, (mathematical) statistics, economics or an equivalent degree (e.g. computer science) that includes a significant share of programming. We want you to have good numerical analytical abilities, an interest in economics, and advanced programming skills, preferably in a statistics software.
As a person, you are analytical, independent, and eager to acquire new knowledge. Since you will work with researchers in the US and at the Stockholm School of Economics, the position requires you to be service-minded and cooperative. Since the work is largely about programming and advanced data management, it is also important that you are structured, accurate, and persistent.
We offer challenging tasks that aim to understand the economic behavior of people. With us, you get knowledgeable and committed colleagues and a great opportunity to learn economics and financial research. The position as a research assistant has previously proven to be valuable for further (inter)national Ph.D. studies in Statistics, Finance, and Economics. The position is a fixed-term employment of approximately two years, both full- and part-time positions are available. Besides salary, we offer an employee benefits package that includes (tjänste) pension, friskvårdsbidrag, and excellent working conditions.
