The Opportunity
Limestone Analytics is looking to connect with exceptional MA students and Ph D candidates in Economics who may be interested in occasional, casual consulting work alongside their studies.
This is a flexible opportunity to gain hands-on experience supporting real economic consulting projects.
Work may include basic economic research, data analysis, literature reviews, data collection, and other project support, depending on the needs of our team and your skills and experience.
There is no set schedule, commitment, or defined term.
We are simply looking to build relationships with talented students who may be interested in taking on occasional project work as opportunities arise.
What We're Looking For
- Currently completing an MA or Ph D in Economics
- Some prior professional work experience (this does not need to be in economics)
- Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
- Curious, reliable, and eager to learn; demonstrating a strong commitment to professionalism
- Previous experience with economic research, data analysis, or programming is an asset, but is not required.
- Where This Could Lead
We expect the initial work to be fairly basic and project-specific.
However, students who demonstrate strong skills and an ability to contribute to our work may have opportunities to take on more complex and substantive consulting work over time.
- Other Details
- Contract type: Consulting, casual. There are no guaranteed hours; students will be assigned work based on their schedule and the availability of project work.
- Compensation: Set rate of $23.34 CAD/hour for MA students. Starting point of $33 for Ph D students
- Location: Flexible. There will be the opportunity to work from the Limetone office in Kingston, Ontario, but little in-office requirement.
- Candidates will be assessed on a rolling basis, with interviews taking place over the next several weeks. The posting will close on October 31, 2026.
