Research Analyst Positions in Financial Economics (full-time)
About this role
The Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics seeks
applications for full-time pre-doctoral research analyst positions in empirical
financial economics, to start on or after 1 July 2026 (subject to agreement).
The positions will suit intellectually curious candidates who intend to gain
experience of research in (financial) economics before applying to a top-level PhD
program in economics, finance, or another social science. As a research analyst,
you will be working on cutting-edge data-intensive research projects in
collaboration with fellow pre-docs and under the supervision of Associate
Professor Marieke Bos and Professor Ramin Baghai.
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.
A pre-doc position serves as an ideal bridge between university and PhD program
for students interested in empirical research in economics or finance. Our
previous pre-docs are now either enrolled in top-level PhD programs or working
in industry as data scientists or financial analysts.
The successful candidates will be based full time in Stockholm.
Job qualifications
Applicants should be completing (or have recently completed) a Master’s degree
with a focus on (financial) mathematics, mathematical finance, (mathematical)
statistics, economics or an equivalent degree (e.g. computer science) that includes
a significant share of programming. We want you to have good numerical
analytical abilities, an interest in economics, and advanced programming skills,
preferably in Stata and or Python. Excellent spoken and written English is a
requirement.
