Research Analyst Position at Swedish House of Finance

The Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics (SHoF) is accepting applications for one or two full-time pre-doctoral research analyst positions in the field of household finance.

Candidates would ideally be able to start working from July 2021 and would work for approximately two years before applying to graduate school in Finance, Economics, or another social science.
