About this position
The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking a Pre-Doctoral Research Specialist for its Real Estate Center. The successful candidate will support faculty research across real estate, public policy, and urban economics, contributing to a research environment that combines quantitative analysis, database work, and applied economic inquiry.
The role is centered on research support rather than teaching, with day-to-day work involving the collection, design, implementation, and maintenance of moderately complex databases. The specialist will also conduct statistical and econometric analyses, write research reports, and provide research-related programming support. The posting emphasizes independent thinking, self-motivation, a strong understanding of economics, and the ability to manage data requirements and integrate systems through database design.
This position is based in the Wharton School, a large and research-intensive business school within Penn, and sits within a wider academic community of faculty and doctoral students. The opportunity is described as full-time and limited-term, intended for recent graduates who want predoctoral research experience and exposure to research in economics and related fields.
The posting notes that former pre-doctoral fellows have progressed to doctoral programs and careers in economics, finance, real estate, statistics, operations, and related disciplines.
