The Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC) invites applications
for Summer 2019 Research Fellows. An interdisciplinary research and
training center at the University of Chicago, EPIC is contributing
innovative solutions to the global energy challenge: how can we ensure that
people around the world, today and in the future, have access to
reliable, affordable energy needed for human development without putting
our health, environment and climate at risk? Previous results from EPIC
projects have been influential with policymakers worldwide and featured in the
New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other leading publications.
Successful candidates will report to Michael Greenstone, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and the Director of EPIC. Responsibilities span all stages of research, including managing projects, collecting and analyzing data, creating presentations, and editing manuscripts. Typical research projects involve the analysis of environmental and energy data from the United States, India, China, and other countries utilizing quasi-experimental and experimental methods, as well as development of computational economic models of energy markets.
Applicants must be in their penultimate year of study and have strong quantitative and programming skills. Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those with experience programming in Stata, R, Python or Matlab. The ideal candidate would begin around June 1, 2019 and work for EPIC for around ten weeks before returning to school. EPIC offers competitive salary and employee benefits. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, with rolling decisions, but all applications must be received by February 28th to be considered. We expect to provide final notifications by early spring 2019. Due to the high volume of applications, only candidates shortlisted for an interview will be contacted.
