Accounting faculty recruitment

Pre-doctoral Research Assistant in Accounting

The programme offers a unique educational opportunity for high-potential individuals to come to London Business School to participate in the intellectual life of the school.

The role provides an ideal transition for recent graduates who are interested in going on to a top business school PhD programme in accounting, economics or finance.

Successful candidates will work closely with leading faculty, learn to provide research assistance, e.g., in the form of data collection and analysis, and will receive mentoring from the faculty members with whom they are working.

They will be able to take one PhD course per term, attend workshops and seminars and access a rich intellectual and cultural campus life.

Overall, the position provides excellent preparation for high-level doctoral studies. Applicants should have at least an undergraduate degree. Previous experience in a similar role – even as an undergraduate – is an advantage. Some knowledge of programming in, for example, R, Matlab, Python, SAS, Stata etc. would be helpful.

The term of the post is normally two years but in exceptional cases, candidates wishing to participate for only one year will be considered.
