The Department of Economics at the University of Zurich, a leading European research department, representing a wide range of research interests in all areas of economics, invites applicants for the position of a pre-doctoral research fellow in Economics.
Your responsibilitiesYou will work on several projects in development economics, ranging from taxation to firm development and broader microeconomic development studies. These projects draw on different datasets to shed light on i) tax compliance in low- and middle-income countries, ii) the impact of public procurement on firm development, and iii) measures to improve welfare for low-income domestic workers. The projects involve the analysis of exciting, large-scale network datasets including the transactions between all formal firms in the entire country of Ecuador and tax data on intra-group payments carried out by multinational firms operating in Chile, as well as the design and rollout of randomized field experiments (RCTs) in Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Your profileThe candidate should have a master's or bachelor's degree with good grades in economics or another quantitative social science field. Candidates need strong knowledge of STATA. Knowledge of other statistical programs such as R or Python is welcome but not required.
The position is ideal for someone who either possesses or is interested in acquiring the ability to communicate research results effectively to different audiences in a clear and accurate manner. We are looking for a person who enjoys independent problem-solving and thrives on taking high level directional advice and then running with this advice as far as possible. The position requires strong organizational and time management skills, the ability to work towards multiple deadlines and interact with different professors and stakeholders. The ideal candidate has a desire to understand the social world around them and possesses a thirst for answering research questions about international development, taxation, and/or firm behavior.
Very good oral and written communication skills in English. Knowledge of German is not required.
