Professors Sendhil Mullainathan at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Ziad Obermeyer at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health are hiring full-time research assistants to start around July 1, 2019. These full-time RAs will be working on projects in health data science. If you know of any exceptional graduating seniors or recent graduates who would be interested in working with Professors Mullainathan and Obermeyer for a year or two before applying to graduate school, I would appreciate you letting them know about this opportunity. If there is any student who you think is particularly worthy of a close look, please don’t hesitate to let me know directly. This position has been an excellent preparation for Economics PhD programs, with previous participants going on to institutions like Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, and UChicago. We also hope it will be good preparation for medical school.
A job description with information on how to apply can be found at http://www.nber.org/jobs/Mullainathan_ad.pdf. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
