If you are an undergraduate or graduate student looking for some research assistant work, please email me with your resume/CV and a brief email statement of your interests. Most of my research involve quantitative work and my programming language of choice is R, but I also have uses for students with no programming experience as well.
See here for some excellent research assistance tips, here for a coding guide, here for an R style guide specifically with Tidyverse, here for a guide to arranging data in a spreadsheet, and here for a Language-Agnostic Coding Advice for Economists.
Is a research assistant role appropriate for you? Not sure what to expect? Please see here.
