Position Description

Harvard Business School is searching for a Research Associate (RA) for Professor Anjali Bhatt in the Organizational Behavior Unit beginning in summer 2024.

The research focuses on examining cultural change in organizations using a variety of computational methods, including simulation-based modeling and natural language processing.

This role is a good fit for a resourceful learner with an interest in computational social science and social/cultural dynamics in organizations, as well as those considering doctoral studies in quantitative social science research.

Sample research questions include:

How does organizational culture emerge and evolve from individual-level interactions? Under what conditions do subcultures form and/or polarize?
How do organizational dynamics (e.g., hiring, mergers & acquisitions, restructuring) influence cultural change in organizations?
What contextual factors influence how individual employees culturally adapt in organizations?

Primary Duties:

The position entails helping with research projects at varying stages, including proposing, developing, and designing research studies; collecting, cleaning, and analyzing data; conducting literature reviews; and contributing to scholarly research products (e.g., journal articles, working papers, and presentations).

Research will include wrangling large datasets and developing computational simulations.

The role will involve independent decision-making and management of timelines and deliverables, keeping the faculty member informed as necessary, using own judgment.
