We’re pleased to share a new job opening working with Michael Greenstone, the Milton Friedman Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago. Successful applicants will work on a team of “predocs” on the frontier of theoretical and empirical research in energy and environmental economics. The research uses observational field data, experimental data, and field experiments. Recently, his research has helped lead to the United States Government quadrupling its estimate of the damages from climate change, the adoption of pollution markets in India, and the use of machine learning techniques to target environmental inspections. In the past three years, previous research professionals on our team have gone on to pursue Economics PhDs at the following institutions: Berkeley (2), Duke Finance (1), MIT (1), UChicago (1), Yale (2). See Michael’s website for a list of past and present projects. Expected start date is July 15, 2025. Learn more and apply here. If you have any questions please email maskinner@uchicago.edu.
