Reasearch Assistant

We are looking for highly skilled and ambitious economics students to contribute directly to our daily project work. The expected start date is as soon as possible.

At Copenhagen Economics, we provide Hard Facts and Clear Stories to enable our clients to make better choices in their political and commercial realities. We succeed because we are a cooperative team drawn from the best economists, applied microeconomists, and quantitative economists in Europe. A pillar of our success is the level of service we provide to both public and private clients in delivering compelling, pragmatic economic solutions. We have extensive hands-on experience working with theoretical and quantitative economic analyses, which we tailor to the needs and business models of our clients.

Copenhagen Economics is one of the leading economics firms in Europe and has been consistently listed by the Global Competition Review (GCR) as one of the Top-20 economic consultancies in the world for the past 15 years.

We are looking for students to join our team at one of our offices in Copenhagen, Stockholm, or Helsinki. Working as a Research Assistant, you will have the opportunity to make a direct impact, working for some of the most influential institutions, organizations, and enterprises across Europe and beyond. You will develop your skills in economics by learning from and working closely with our team of experienced consultants. Your tasks will be varied, such as finding and analyzing data, creating graphs and presentations, and supporting our consultants with the final details of our reports. You should also expect some ad hoc tasks.

A normal working week constitutes 20 hours at our office, but with two-way flexibility, particularly around exam periods.

We welcome applicants who:

• Are Bachelor or Master students in Economics.
• Enjoy being part of a team but can also work independently when needed.
• Take ownership of their work and pride themselves on delivering high-quality work.
• Have a keen interest in empirical analysis and learning new skills.
• Have an interest in programming or learning to program with R or Python, and proficiency in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint is an advantage.
• Have excellent English skills.
• Knowledge of Danish, Finnish, or Swedish is a plus.

Please submit your application, including CV, a short cover letter, and academic transcripts from high school and onwards no later than 29 November 2024. We will be interviewing on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. In your motivational letter, please elaborate on why you would like to work with us and why you believe you would be a good fit for the role and our team (max 500 words).

As a company, we are committed to responding to all applicants, no matter the result. You are welcome to contact Economist Marco Islam at   if you have questions.

We look forward to receiving your application
