Research activities will fall within macroeconomics and related subfields in collaboration with Professors Paolo Martellini and Abdou Ndiaye. Possible research areas include labor market dynamics, public finance, firm dynamics, trade, and spatial economics.

Research scientists will also be a part of the NYU Stern Economics academic community, which entails the opportunity to attend seminars and social events with PhD students and faculty.

Must be able to start ASAP. We will consider applications on a rolling basis.

Benefits include:

Candidates should have a strong quantitative background, significant programming experience, and an ability to solve problems independently. Programming experience in Julia, Python and/or Matlab is preferred. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree with a quantitative concentration is required.

A background in economics is not necessary, as we welcome candidates with strong quantitative skills who want to gain more exposure to economics.
