Research Assistantships

A research assistant (RA henceforth) is a young researcher employed on a temporary contract by IGIER-Bocconi for the purpose of assisting in academic research under the supervision of a Bocconi professor who is IGIER fellow or affiliate.

Bocconi students may work as part-time or full-time RAs either during their undergraduate or MSc studies or in the year after their graduation (laurea). Tasks and duties vary depending on the research projects (theoretical or empirical), the skills the students are endowed with (e.g., software skills, language knowledge, academic background, etc), and the professors' research interests.

These activities are conceived as temporary labor contracts. Hence, requirements, fiscal rules, and compensation vary according to tasks and duties. 

How to apply 
Bocconi students should send an email to igier@unibocconi.it in which they describe their interest in the subject of the message (e.g., YOUR NAME - application for RAship).

In either case, students should attach a CV written in English. If you have any preferences for one or more research fields, you can send a brief presentation letter along with your CV.

IGIER staff will forward all applications to its fellows and affiliates. If any of them is interested in a candidate, he/she will contact the student to schedule a meeting. Once the student and the professor agree on how to set up the RAship, the IGIER staff will process the administrative paperwork.
