This is an opportunity to work on an exciting new project.

The Research Assistant will support the Project Leader Federico Rossi and his collaborators in the successful execution of the project “Human Capital, the Organization of Production and Economic Development”, funded by an ERC/UKRI Starting Grant 2023. The project will leverage micro-level data from multiple countries and novel theoretical frameworks to shed light on how the accumulation and utilization of different types of skills is shaped by and can facilitate the adaptation to some of the most pressing challenges faced by the global economy: population ageing, climate change, and the reallocation of workers across economic activities.

The position is particularly suitable for someone interested in pursuing a PhD in Economics or related fields. The Research Assistant will benefit from extensive mentoring from the Project Leader and his collaborators and will have the opportunity to develop several skills useful for conducting academic research.

The post is initially for 1 year in the first instance, with the possibility to renew it for a second year.
