About The Position
We are seeking an undergraduate research assistant to support an empirical research project at the intersection of corporate finance and management. The role involves coding information from university yearbooks into a structured dataset, which will form the basis of econometric analyses for the project.

Training on the coding protocol will be provided, and the assistant will be expected to work carefully and consistently, flagging ambiguous cases for discussion. Depending on future needs and budget, the contract could be renewed for assistance with actual analysis.
