Offer Description

Environment

PSE – Paris School of Economics is a private, not-for-profit research foundation. PSE develops economic research of the highest international standard and brings together a community of 140 researchers and around 200 doctoral students. It brings together universities and business schools with the aim of fostering exchanges between economics and other social sciences, disseminating its work to a wide audience and developing multiple partnerships with public institutions and private organizations. The EU Tax Observatory (https://www.taxobservatory.eu/ ), PSE’s in-house laboratory, is dedicated to excellent research on tax issues, with a particular focus on corporate tax evasion and avoidance. EU Tax Observatory is directed by Professor Gabriel Zucman and is housed at the Paris School of Economics.

Position

We are recruiting several research assistants to participate in the Observatory’s scientific activities for the academic year 2024-2025. We are recruiting for two distinct tracks: 

• Track 1: Research and issues in Europe. Work prepared by the EU Tax Observatory in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, Charles University and the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW). Co-financed by the European Commission. 
• Track 2: Global research with a focus on developing countries and participation in the Atlas of the Offshore World (https://atlas-offshore.world/ ) developed by the EU Tax Observatory, the Skatteforsk – Centre for Tax Research and the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD). 

Please indicate in your application which track you would like to be considered for. In both tracks, your main tasks will be to: 

• Conduct research on taxation and perform data analysis
