The Busara Center for
Behavioral Economics
Vacancy: Associate
The Busara Center is growing
once again. We are taking applications for new associates. This year we have
tripled the size of our associate team, moved to our shiny new offices at
Daykio Plaza, run two major conferences, and worked to apply behavioral science
to everything from sanitation to digital savings.
That's all in pursuit of our
twin missions of advancing behavioral science and alleviating poverty.
