Research Assistant at Goethe University Frankfurt
The Department of Economics and Business at Goethe University Frankfurt invites applications for a 50% part-time position as a Research Assistant (TV-G-U E13) at the Chair of Finance, with a particular focus on Asset Pricing. The position is expected to start on October 1, 2026, and is initially limited to a period of three years. The duration of the contract is governed by the provisions of the German Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act (*Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz*) in conjunction with the Hessian Higher Education Act. Depending on circumstances, there may be an opportunity to increase the position to a higher percentage.
We are looking for a candidate with a degree in economics, business, mathematics, or business mathematics and a strong background in finance. Applicants are also expected to have very good programming skills, for example in C, Python, MATLAB, Stata, or R. Advanced knowledge of finance is essential.
The position involves supporting the Chair’s ongoing research and administrative activities as well as assisting in the preparation and follow-up of courses. Knowledge of German is therefore an advantage. The position provides the opportunity to conduct independent research, in particular with a view to completing a doctoral degree.
