Research Assistants

I am always looking for motivated research assistants, and I was lucky to work with people who went on to other exciting opportunities after having worked for me (see below!).

Minimal Requirements

Here is the list of minimal requirements that you need to master in order to be able to work for me:

  1. You know at least 70% of what is taught in this course I teach at SciencesPo.
  2. That’s it. 😉

RA Hall of Fame 🎉

Here they are! My current and previous research assistants in one place! I can only claim minimal influence in their successful careers 🤓.
