Professor Jonathan Dingel at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business is hiring a full-time research assistant to start around July 1, 2020, though earlier start dates are preferred. This full-time RA will be working on projects in international trade, economic geography, and urban economics. This would be great for graduating seniors or recent graduates who would be interested in working with Professor Dingel for a year, or, preferably, two years before applying to graduate school. This position has been an excellent preparation for Economics PhD programs, with previous participants going on to institutions such as Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, and UChicago.
