Rui Costa (London School of Economics) and Nikhil Datta (Warwick University) are looking for a research assistant for a Low Pay Commission funded project looking at differential effects of minimum wage on firm adjustment margins depending on local labour market power facing the firms.
They are looking for a graduate student based in London with an interest in the subject, attention to detail, and a strong capacity for independent supervised work. Specific position requirements are listed below. The work involves cleaning, merging and analysing firm-level microdata. The typical workload is about twelve hours per week at the start of the project, tapering as the project progresses.
This is an exciting opportunity to get hands-on experience with multi-staged applied research.
Essential requirements:
The post will commence in late April or early May 2025 and will last for twelve months with the possibility of an extension. The total workload will be seven hours per week with some flexibility depending on the stage of the project. The pay will be £23.40 per hour (including holiday pay).

Unfortunately, CEP will not be able to sponsor candidates for a visa for this role, so you must have eligibility to work in the UK. Eligibility in this context refers to an existing valid visa to work in the UK for which you must be present in the country.
