• Adapt standard econometric approaches to whatever structure and quirks a given dataset presents.

Requirements6

• Master's degree in economics, econometrics, public policy or another quantitative field.
• One to three years of professional work in economics, econometrics, policy analysis or a related quantitative role.
• At least one first-author publication, or research output of comparable standing.

• Preferred: teaching assistant experience in causal inference, econometrics or statistics courses that involved programming.
• Preferred: background in applied machine learning and empirical analysis.

Who Should Apply

An early-career economist holding a master's and a first-author paper who wants short, self-directed research sprints. You pick your specification, defend it with robustness checks, and document the reasoning. Teaching experience in econometrics or causal inference strengthens the case.
