Shan Huang and Amanda Dahlstrand are looking for a highly motivated research assistant to join our international research team. We are seeking a recent BA graduate or a current MSc/PhD student in economics (or a related field) with an interest in health, labor, or organizational economics and a strong capacity for independent supervised work.
The primary responsibility of the research assistant will be to support in conducting applied economic research. This role requires meticulous data work with a strong emphasis on accuracy and attention to detail. Tasks include the preparation of large datasets for analysis, implementation of econometric methods, help in creating presentations and figures, or literature surveys. The research assistant will participate in regular meetings and contribute to exploring new directions in developing the project.
Good knowledge of Stata is essential. Familiarity with other research tools such as LateX and statistical or computing languages such as R and Python is a strong advantage. Experience in working with administrative microdata and proficiency in Swedish is appreciated.
The research assistant will assist in research projects that study health care provision and the role of digitization. This is an exciting opportunity to shape new directions for the projects, work with novel micro data, and refine your skills needed to organize and execute empirical research. An undergraduate degree in Economics or a closely related quantitative discipline to be completed by the post start date is required.
The position will be physically based in Stockholm and we offer a salary of 29 000 SEK/month (with additional pension and social security contributions). This is a fixed-term position, beginning on January 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2025.
If interested, please send in your application by September 15, 2024. The application should include a CV, record of courses taken and grades, the most advanced academic paper you have written, and a short letter of motivation. We would appreciate if you could ask a reference to send a separate email to shan.huang@hhs.se with their reference letter by September 15.
We look forward to receiving your application.
