Research Staff Program Current Staff
Chicago Booth research staff include research professionals (RPs) and principal researchers (PRs).
RPs are often graduates of bachelor’s or master’s programs in the quantitative social sciences, though Booth’s capacious and interdisciplinary research means that many RPs have mathematics, psychology, or engineering backgrounds. PRs possess a PhD, and they collaborate with faculty on their research.
Our current RPs and PRs can be found below. To see a list of current openings, visit Join Our Team.
