EPIC Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship

Posted: 24 Jan 2019 09:15 AM PST

The Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC) invites applications for Summer 2019 Research
Fellows. An interdisciplinary research and training center at the University of Chicago, EPIC is
contributing innovative solutions to the global energy challenge: how can we ensure that people
around the world, today and in the future, have access to reliable, affordable energy needed for
human development without putting our health, environment and climate at risk? Previous results
from EPIC projects have been influential with policymakers worldwide and featured in the New
York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other leading publications.

Successful candidates will report to Michael Greenstone, Professor of Economics at the University
of Chicago and the Director of EPIC. Responsibilities span all stages of research, including
managing projects, collecting and analyzing data, creating presentations, and editing manuscripts.
Typical research projects involve the analysis of environmental and energy data from the United
States, India, China, and other countries utilizing quasi-experimental and experimental methods,
as well as development of computational economic models of energy markets.

Applicants must be in their penultimate year of study and have strong quantitative and
programming skills. Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those
with experience programming in Stata, R, Python or Matlab. The ideal candidate would begin
around June 1, 2019 and work for EPIC for around ten weeks before returning to school. EPIC
offers competitive salary and employee benefits. Applications will be reviewed as they are
received, with rolling decisions, but all applications must be received by February 28th to be
considered. We expect to provide final notifications by early spring 2019. Due to the high volume
of applications, only candidates shortlisted for an interview will be contacted.

To apply, please complete the form and upload your resume, transcript, and writing sample at

should be directed to epic.predoctoralfellowship@gmail.com.
