Job Title: Research Professional – Oeindrila Dube - AI and Machine Learning for Social Impact  (Full-Time, Benefits Eligible)

Location: Chicago, IL 

Salary Ranges: $55,000–62,000 annual salary, additional $2,000 professional development fund. The included pay rate or range represents the University’s good faith estimate of the possible compensation offer for this role at the time of posting.

Terms: Seeking a Research Professional for a period of at least one but ideally two years 

Expected Start Date: July 1, 2026 

Department: Becker Friedman Institute  

Benefits Eligible: Yes. The University of Chicago offers a wide range of benefits programs and resources for eligible employees, including health, retirement, and paid time off. Information about the benefit offerings can be found in the Benefits Guidebook.

About the program

The Becker Friedman Institute for Economics (BFI) is seeking to hire a full-time Research Professional to work with Professor Oeindrila Dube. Applicants must have completed a Bachelors degree by June 2026 and available to begin work in summer 2026. The Research Professional’s responsibilities will span all stages of research, including collecting data of in both tabular and spatial formats, developing algorithms that clean and organize data, conducting statistical analyses, running simulations, and preparing manuscripts and presentations. 

The program is intended to serve as a bridge between college and graduate school for students interested in empirical economics. Applicants must have strong quantitative and programming skills. Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those with experience in Stata, R, Python or Matlab. The ideal candidate would work for BFI for one or two years before applying to graduate school in Economics or another quantitative social science. BFI offers competitive salary and employee benefits. 

Job Summary 

Can cutting-edge AI make policing more equitable?  Can we infer what is in a police officer’s mind from observing their behavior? These are the kinds of question driving our research program, and we're looking for someone to help answer them. 

The Becker Friedman Institute for Economics (BFI) is seeking a full-time Research Professional to work with Oeindrila Dube, Philip K. Pearson Professor at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. This is a hands-on research role at the frontier of computer science and economics, with real stakes: the projects you'll work on aim to change how police interact with the public.  

We are applying NLP and machine learning to terabytes of body-worn camera footage to build tools that improve policing outcomes. We will evaluate the effectiveness of these tools using experimental methods. This work builds on "A Cognitive View of Policing" (QJE 2025). You will be working at real scale, using data that matters.  

The ideal candidate has strong training in computer science and economics or a related social science field. While you don’t need to have majored in economics, you should be excited to learn how economists think about leveraging NLP/AI tools and generate causal evidence. 

Why this, instead of a software job? 

If you're a CS student weighing this against a position in industry: the work here is harder in different ways, more collaborative, and the output is knowledge that gets published and used to inform real policy decisions. Pre-doctoral research positions like this one are a well-established pathway into PhD programs in economics, computer science, public policy, and related fields — and a growing number of CS researchers have found that combining their technical skills with training in causal inference opens up research questions that neither field can tackle alone. 

Unit-preferred Competencies

• Strong programming skills in Python, including experience with at least some machine learning libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, Hugging Face) 
• Has experience working with large structured/unstructured datasets in a research or internship setting
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously 
• Excellent organizational skills 
• Attention to detail 
• Strong academic writing/communication skills

Minimum Qualifications:

Education

• Bachelor's degree in CS, economics, statistics, math, or a related quantitative discipline

Experience

• At least one year of relevant research experience (coursework and school projects count)

Technical Knowledge/Skills

• Knowledge of R and/or Python preferred 
• Knowledge of STATA preferred 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Has experience in NLP, speech/ASR, or computer vision. 
• Has experience with R and Stata are a plus (as Stata is used in the field experiment work) 
• Has had exposure to causal inference or program evaluation — or is eager to develop these skills quickly.  

Application Documents

• Resume/CV (required)
• Cover Letter (required)
• Writing Sample (required)
• Transcripts (unofficial is acceptable) (required)
• Two Professional References (required)

About the Department  

The Becker Friedman Institute for Economics aims to foster frontier research and apply those findings to achieve global impact.

The ideal candidate would work for BFI for one or two years before applying to graduate school in Economics or another quantitative social science. BFI offers competitive salary and employee benefits. 

Job Summary 

Can dialogue between warring groups reduce violence? And, how does media influence social and cultural norms? These are the kinds of questions driving this research, and we're looking for someone to help answer them. 

What you'll work on 

Two major projects form the core of this role: 

• Conflict and dialogue in Nigeria: In collaboration with James Robinson (UChicago) and Soeren Henn (U Wisconsin-Madison), we are analyzing the results of a large-scale field experiment studying how contact between warring groups affects farmer-herder violence in Nigeria's Middle Belt.  

• Impact of media on social norms and culture: In collaboration with Joshua Blumenstock (UC Berkeley) and Karrar Hussein (AUB) we are investigating how exposure to western media affect gender norms and gender inequality in an Islamic society. This project brings together novel big data sources and causal identification strategies to understand deep-rooted disparities. 

Who we're looking for 

The ideal candidate has strong quantitative training in economics or a related field and is genuinely curious about how political and social forces shape conflict, development, and gender inequality. Experience working with large datasets is central to this role.

Why this role? 

The position is intended to bridge the gap between the classroom and graduate school for students in empirical research through applied research work. Applicants interested in pursuing PhDs in Economics, Public Policy, or Political Economy are encouraged to apply. You will gain deep exposure to frontier empirical methods, receive mentorship from faculty, and contribute to projects with direct policy relevance. The collaborative nature of these projects also means you will interact with a broader network of leading researchers across institutions. This position provides access to UChicago coursework, allowing you to address potential gaps in academic background. 

Unit-preferred Competencies

• Proficient in writing replicable data files on Stata and/or R; experience with Python is a plus 
• Strong understanding of causal inference methods — randomized controlled trials, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, or related approaches  
• Experience working with large datasets, including cleaning and merging complex data from multiple sources 
• Congenial interpersonal skills required to manage projects, including scheduling and managing timelines.  
• Strong writing and communication skills to help prepare literature reviews, produce presentations, and write reports.  
• Excellent organizational skills 
• Attention to detail 
• Strong academic writing/communication skills

Minimum Qualifications:

Education

• Bachelor's degree in economics, public policy, statistics or a related quantitative discipline

Experience

• At least one year of relevant research experience (coursework and school projects count)

Technical Knowledge/Skills

• Knowledge of R and/or Python preferred 
• Knowledge of STATA preferred 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Has experience designing survey instruments or accurately encoding survey data; 
• Experience with geospatial data is also a plus 
• Is comfortable with version control and collaborative coding (git/GitHub) 
• Has familiarity with the IRB process and applications 
• Has familiarity with AI-powered coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) 

Application Documents

• Resume/CV (required)
