The AQR Asset Management Institute Pre-Doctoral Researcher position offers a unique educational opportunity for high-potential individuals to come to LBS to participate in the intellectual life of the school. The Researcher role provides an ideal transition for recent graduates who are interested in going on to a top business school PhD programme in finance, economics or accounting.

The successful candidate will work closely with leading faculty in finance, economics and accounting, learn to provide research assistance, e.g., in the form of data collection and analysis, and will receive mentoring from the faculty with whom they are working. They will be able to take one PhD course per term, attend workshops and seminars and access a rich intellectual and cultural campus life. Overall, the position provides excellent preparation for high-level doctoral studies.

Applicants should have at least an undergraduate degree in economics or finance or in a related area such as mathematics, statistics or computer science. Previous experience in a similar role – even as an undergraduate – is an advantage. Some knowledge of programming in, for example, R, Matlab, Python, SAS, Stata etc. is also helpful.
