Andersen Institute Careers
Pre-Doctoral Research Assistant
Recruited pre-doctoral research assistants (pre-docs) are expected to assist PhD economists on a variety of research projects exploring the interconnections between major macroeconomic and microeconomic themes such as technological innovation and artificial intelligence (AI), climate change and decarbonization, geopolitics and fragmentation, rising levels of public debt and demographics, in a poly-crisis world with significant uncertainties.
Joining as a pre-doc offers a unique, research-intensive opportunity for high-research-potential individuals to come work with the Institute researchers. Successful candidates will learn about the academic research process by providing support to the Institute’s researchers in the form of data collection, management and analysis; coding; data and scientific result reporting and visualization. They will also receive mentoring and career from the economists with whom they are working.
The pre-doctoral research assistant position is intended to be a two-year full-time program and is intended for candidates that plan to pursue doctoral studies in economics, finance, or related fields.
Research Economist
Research economists will join a team of micro and macro economists exploring the interconnections between major global themes such as technological innovation and artificial intelligence (AI), geopolitics and fragmentation, rising levels of public debt and demographics, and climate change and decarbonization in a poly-crisis world with significant uncertainties.
These trends will be assessed from both a macro and a micro perspective, evaluating how global public and private financial markets price risks and opportunities and how businesses, governments, and financial institutions navigate these evolving trends.
Recruited research economists will conduct independent and collaborative research and publish findings in top peer-reviewed journals, working paper series of the Institute, as well as in other outlets targeting business and policy audiences. They will be expected to present at research conferences, participate in public and private events, engage in dialogue with the private sector and policymakers, and contribute to the Institute’s social media presence and other dissemination channels.
