Master's and doctoral students

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at UC Berkeley is hiring two predoctoral fellows to support their transparency initiative.

The primary goal is to evaluate the impact of reporting guidelines and resource incentives on reporting practices and publication outcomes of pre-registered research projects in economics and political science, and to ultimately improve the transparency and reproducibility of social science research. The positions will work closely with CEGA Faculty Co-Director Edward Miguel, Staff Scientist Fernando Hoces de la Guardia, and other CEGA staff to support project management of the study and contribute to data collection, management and analysis. The project will begin in 2023 and the positions will work to support the testing and implementation of reporting guidelines, the development of statistical models and analyses using Stata, R and other software packages, and will support the publishing of the resulting findings and research materials.
