Specifics about the positions

To support our research, we are looking for 1 – 2 student assistants to work an average of 15 hours per week, but there is a large degree of flexibility, including during exam periods.

In this position, students undertake various tasks, including data management for research projects, working on new research proposals, literature reviews, and preparing and taking actively part in international seminars and conferences hosted by PeRCent.

Expected start date is in August/September, 2021. During the COVID-19 lockdown you are expected to work from the distance. After the lockdown you are expected to be able to be present at the department at least once a week. However, this will be defined in more detail together with your supervisor.

We are looking for a student of economics or a related field. As you will support research projects with data collection and analysis, a good understanding of Microsoft Office, especially Excel, is required. Knowledge of software such as STATA and R are beneficial, but not a necessity. Solid grades in your current studies, an ability to work independently as well as a willingness/enthusiasm to learn new methods will also be important.
