Working at the Stigler Center

Women checking in guests at an event

The Stigler Center is an intellectual destination for research and programming on regulatory capture, crony capitalism, and the various forms of subversion of competition by special-interest groups. 

As a member of our team, you’ll work with world-renowned faculty and highly motivated staff and students dedicated to exploring the interconnections between politics, regulation, and the economy.

Research Assistant 

Research assistants’ work varies greatly depending on the project, but may include data entry and library searches, data management and statistical estimations, helping set up online surveys or computer studies, or summarizing information from sources in languages other than English. Projects may be short-term or long-term, and some projects may require special skills, while others may be suitable for those without prior research experience. (Note: you must be a current University of Chicago student for this position.)

The Stigler Center seeks University of Chicago student RA support with varying volume and frequency throughout the year. After an applicant submits an RA application form, they will be added to an active directory of students interested in serving as Stigler Center research assistants. Our team will reach out to suitable candidates for projects as they become available.
