Research Assistants (RA)
Research assistants provide aspiring early career researchers with an in-depth understanding of the research process while undergoing intensive career development in a tight-knit community through a one- or two-year program.
Intended for those with at least a bachelor’s degree, PHAS’s RA allows awardees to gain hands-on interdisciplinary research training in preparation for economics or another quantitative social science. RAs are paired with a PHAS-affiliated faculty member who serves as a mentor in guiding them through the research process.
Responsibilities span all stages of research, from managing projects and collecting and analyzing data to creating presentations and editing manuscripts. In addition to working closely with faculty as research assistants, RAs often attend classes and seminars at the Institute for Global Health and Development at the Peking University and affiliate institutions.
Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those with experience in Stata, R, Python or Matlab. PHAS offers a competitive salary.
We are now hiring 3-4 RAs for PHAS. You can email your CV to ighd.pku@gmail.com, with subject "RA-PHAS"-[Your Name].
