Research assistant position at the Swedish House of Finance

As a research assistant, you will work on several projects for both local and international researchers in finance and economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. You will use a combination of statistical analysis and big data to investigate research topics. The topics include the behavioral economic drivers of debt and default, as well as the relationship between corporate financial decisions, mental illness, and the risk-taking of employees and their families.

The tasks consist of managing large amounts of data and programming economic and statistical models in your programming language of choice (e.g. Python, R). The analysis is quantitative, and the work fluctuates in intensity.
