Offer Description
Description
The Center for Technology and Economic Development (CTED) at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) seeks to recruit a Research Assistant for a one-year period.
The Research Assistant will play an integral role in supporting the research efforts and data analysis for CTED’s projects. The candidate will conduct research on issues of labor migration and commodities markets, and complete other miscellaneous tasks under the direction of Principal Investigator Dr. Yaw Nyarko. The ideal candidate will have experience using statistical software (STATA and Matlab), have strong writing skills, and be knowledgeable of the research projects in CTED. The successful applicant will assist the Principal Investigator on field research projects; conduct data analysis; prepare literature reviews; translate research findings; assist with field work efforts related to the Center’s commodities markets research; and be able to generate research reports, concept notes, and academic papers.
Applicants must have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics or a related field. Preferably, applicants will have experience conducting field research in emerging countries and working on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Applicants with experience and knowledge working with STATA and Matlab, and a strong interest in economic and quantitative research, are encouraged to apply. Researchers with experience in commodities markets, labor migration, and technology and economic development will be considered a plus. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment, working autonomously, but as a team member under the direction of the Principal Investigator.
The terms of employment are very competitive. Applications will be accepted immediately, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, one academic writing sample, transcript of degree, and 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format, via Interfolio.
Please visit our websites for more information on CTED (www.nyucted.org ) and Dr. Yaw Nyarko’s research (www.yawnyarko.com ).
