The Pre-doctoral Research in Economics (PRE) Workshop has an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in pursuing research in Economics and related fields. Please share with interested students.

The workshop, hosted by current pre-docs and sponsored by the PREDOC and the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences, will provide students with the opportunity to:

(1) learn about full-time pre-doctoral economic research jobs from employers at leading institutions;

(2) practice using quantitative social science tools and techniques; and

(3) build a set of skills that will help them to kick start their own research.

This workshop aims to make information about pre-doctoral positions more transparent and widely available, lowering the barriers that may keep many promising early-career scholars from pursuing research careers.

Students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply!

Our program includes panels and training sessions led by current pre-doctoral researchers. The program also features professors and researchers from institutions like Stanford, UChicago, the Federal Reserve Board and more, who will speak about pre-doctoral opportunities and the hiring process for these roles. Participants will receive a 6-month Stata licenses on a need-based basis.

The workshop will be hosted remotely from Saturday, June 12 to Sunday, June 13. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to schedule office hours with current pre-doctoral researchers and professors outside the workshop.

Interested students can submit an application here. Please direct questions to info@predoc.org.
