the guidance of Professor Pedro Bordalo, the Principal Investigator.

Accounting, Management and Economics (FAME) research group and Behavioural
Research UK (BR-UK) – a national leadership hub funded by the Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of UKRI. The research explores how
cognitive mechanisms such as attention and memory shape economic beliefs and
preferences, influencing market behaviour and decision-making.
This role involves managing large-scale datasets, reviewing literature and

experience in Stata, SAS or MATLAB. The role requires the ability to work
independently on both research and administrative tasks, along with excellent
communication skills to contribute to publications, present findings at
conferences and engage with research partners.
