Full-time RA positions (starting Summer 2023)

Dear Northwestern Economics Undergraduate Department,

Prof. Daniel Benjamin (UCLA) and his co-authors are looking to hire two research assistants to start in the summer of 2023. Would you kindly circulate the postings to the senior undergraduate students in your program? I’ve included the job postings as attachments, and they can also be found through the links below.

The Research Assistant, Genoeconomics (Summer 2023) position is a full-time position starting in summer 2023. The chosen candidate will work with economics professors Dan Benjamin (UCLA), David Cesarini (NYU), David Laibson (Harvard University), and their co-authors. This position will be located out of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) offices in Cambridge, MA. The ideal candidate is someone who is interested in genoeconomics (i.e., the identification of genetic variation that is associated with variation in economic behavior), and is likely to pursue a PhD in economics, genomics, statistics, data science, or a related field.

The Research Assistant, Behavioral Economics (Summer 2023) position is a full-time position starting in summer 2023. The selected candidate will work with economics professor Dan Benjamin (UCLA), Miles Kimball (University of Colorado Boulder), Ori Heffetz (Cornell University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Kristen Cooper (Gordon College) and their co-authors, and is ideal for individuals interested in behavioral economics research and likely to pursue a PhD in economics.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you,

Marta
