• Contribute to research papers, conference presentations and other academic outputs, and support writing, revision and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

• PhD in finance, economics, accounting, business, statistics, data science or a closely related field.
• Strong training in empirical research methods and econometric analysis, with experience with large-scale firm-level or related datasets.
• Experience merging and managing large datasets from multiple sources, preferably firm, supply chain, financial, policy or international data.
• Familiarity with sustainable finance, climate policy, carbon pricing, corporate finance or global supply chains is an advantage; prior experience preparing peer-reviewed journal papers is preferred.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
