I am hiring one full-time Pre-Doctoral Research Assistant at Stanford University starting in the Fall of 2025.
This Pre-Doctoral Research Assistant role focuses on investigating how key institutions, policies, and innovations shape economic inequality in America. Using big data and techniques from applied microeconomics, labor economics, and economic history, you'll contribute to projects such as analyzing the post-World War II growth of the American middle class and examining how AI advancements affect labor market inequality and human capital.
Your responsibilities will span the entire research process, from idea generation and literature reviews to data collection and analysis. I seek highly motivated candidates with strong quantitative skills, programming experience, and a passion for problem-solving.
The ideal applicant works independently and aims to pursue a PhD in economics or a related field. While coding proficiency is essential (Stata experience preferred, with LaTeX, R, Python, and web scraping as valuable additions), a background in economics is not required.
I strongly encourage candidates with robust technical skills and an interest in exploring economics to apply.
