Opportunities

Working with me.

Grant funding is sometimes available for graduate students with expertise in Python, R, Stata, or the Android SDK, and for economics PhD students with strong empirical skills. To apply, send a short, specific cover letter describing your experience.

Prospective doctoral students should have strong programming skills and an appetite for statistical, economic, and machine-learning methods. Both Goizueta’s PhD program and Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon are excellent places to start.
