Job Summary

Professor Matthew Lee is seeking a full-time Research Associate for one year or more. This role is a particularly good fit for candidates seeking to pursue a PhD or other research in the management of organizations, whether in a school of public policy, business school, or disciplinary department (i.e., sociology, economics).
