EPIC Summer Research Assistant(s) - Michael Greenstone
Research technician job in Chicago, IL
The Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) invites applications for the Summer 2026 Undergraduate Research Assistant Fellowship. EPIC is contributing innovative solutions to the Global Energy Challenge: how can we ensure that people around the world, today and in the future, have access to the reliable, affordable energy needed for human development without putting our health, environment and climate at risk? Previous results from EPIC projects have been influential with policymakers worldwide and featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other leading publications. Typical research projects involve the analysis of environmental and energy data from the United States, India, China, and other countries, utilizing experimental, quasi-experimental, and modeling methods.
Successful candidates will report to Michael Greenstone, Milton Friedman Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, founding director of the University's Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth and the director of the interdisciplinary Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago.
Responsibilities for this role span all stages of research, including:
Managing projects
Collecting and analyzing data

Editing manuscripts
Applicants must be current undergraduates or those graduating in Spring 2026 and have a strong interest in economic research. This role is not open to graduate students. A demonstrated interest in energy and environmental economics is encouraged but not required. EPIC reviews candidates holistically and encourages candidates to apply even if they do not have extensive past experience with programming or empirical research. The goal of the program is to develop the intern's skills as a researcher. Interns will be mentored by current Pre-Doctoral Fellows and gain skills in programming and empirical analysis.
The ideal candidate would work in the EPIC office for around ten weeks during Summer 2026. This position will be fully in person at the University of Chicago and offers a competitive stipend. We have a priority deadline of October 31, 2025, with applications reviewed on a rolling basis thereafter. We encourage candidates to apply as early as possible.
