Full Text of JOE Listing:

The O’Neil Center for Global Markets and Freedom (oneilcenter.org), in the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, is seeking a research assistant to help with academic research and outreach associated with the Center’s State & Local Economic Freedom Project.

The successful candidate should have a Masters or Ph.D. in economics (or closely related field), be familiar with the classical liberal and economic freedom literature, and possess strong quantitative skills. Duties will include statistical assistance and database management for the annual Economic Freedom of North America index (and similar related projects), assistance with academic research projects leading to published works in refereed journals, and other administrative duties as needed.

The Center was made possible through the generosity of SMU Alumnus William J. “Bill” O’Neil (the founder of the Investor’s Business Daily newspaper) and his wife Fay C. O’Neil. The focus of the O’Neil Center is the study of the impact of competitive market forces on freedom and prosperity in the global economy.
