Hello
People who are interested to pursue a PhD next year and are looking for RA positions, now is a good time to apply. Being an RA at ISB comes with a lot of perks and a few cons as well. Coming to the point, ISB - has three Economics professors - Tarun Jain, Shilpa Agrawal and Sisir Debnath. All of them are currently hiring.
I am currently working under Sisir, and will be leaving soon for my PhD and so will his other RA. So he is looking for RAs for two positions, and maybe a third shared RA with Tarun. Anyway I would encourage you to apply to him. Even though he is a fresh PhD, he is an amazing guy and very promising. He is currently working on four projects, you can check them on his webpage. He might not have a lot of connections but will teach you a lot and will always think of ways for you to succeed in life. He did guide me a lot with my admissions and wrote me a good recommendation (in spite of the fact, that I was really lazy with my RA duties).
My tenure at ISB did me more good than harm, so it is a good alternative to consider if there are not many RA positions at DSE or ISI. Please feel free to contact me for any other questions.
Best,
Divya
