The posts will be based at the SSE premises in the heart of Stockholm. We offer competitive salaries with additional pension and social security contributions.
The primary responsibility of the Research Assistant (RA) will be to assist faculty members in the Department of Economics with research-related tasks. This could include, for example, preparing datasets, conducting econometric analysis, developing questionnaires, creating presentations or figures, and surveying parts of the literature. One of the RA positions will also involve working as a teaching assistant for two BSc or MSc courses during the academic year.
Good knowledge of statistical software packages, particularly Stata, is essential. Familiarity with other research tools, such as Matlab, LaTeX, and programming languages like Python or Julia, is a strong advantage. Applicants should have at least a bachelor's degree in economics or finance by the time the positions start; more advanced studies will be considered a merit.
Research Assistants will be provided with an office and will be considered an integral part of the research environment within the department. They will receive mentorship from a designated faculty member at the Department of Economics. The positions offer a pathway to doctoral studies through direct engagement in research and personal mentorship from faculty. They also serve as an attractive stepping stone for other careers. Past candidates have gone on to pursue PhD programs at renowned institutions in Europe and the US, as well as careers in policy-oriented organizations.
We will begin reviewing applications on April 15, 2025. The application should include a CV, a record of courses taken and grades, the most advanced academic paper you have written, a short letter of motivation, and the names of two references.
We look forward to receiving your application.
