The W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research is seeking a talented Research Assistant or
Research Analyst to support PhD researchers with statistical programming and analysis of data in
research projects. This is an entry-level position, intended for recent graduates of bachelor’s or master’s
programs including, but not limited to, those who are considering pursuing a PhD and wish to further
their knowledge in statistics, data analysis, and economic and policy analysis. The Research Assistant
position offers opportunity for promotion to research analyst, a position that is intended for those with a
bachelor’s or master’s degree and sufficient research experience. The individual selected for this
position will enter the organization in either the Assistant role or the Analyst role, provided they have
qualifying experience.

Research Assistants/Analysts work closely with PhD researchers on empirical projects that often use
large databases. Their work largely involves statistical programming; assembling, structuring, and
managing databases; analysis of data; and preparation of empirical results for presentation in reports,
working papers, and articles. Work also includes writing documents that detail data sources, variable
definitions, and the design of databases. The incumbent may be asked to proofread final written
documents.

Position Requirements

A bachelor's degree or a master’s degree with considerable experience in statistics, econometrics, and
computer programming is required. Research experience—for example, working with a faculty member
on one or more research projects—is desirable.

Knowledge of basic statistical and econometric methods; experience with at least one statistical
programming language, preferably Stata; experience with database structures and data management; and
knowledge of Microsoft Office software, especially Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, are required.
Knowledge of other programing languages such as R and Matlab and of machine learning concepts is
desirable. Attention to detail is essential.
