NAGISA TADJFAR

Hi! I'm a PhD candidate in economics at MIT, where I am supported by the National Science Foundation. I research topics in labor economics, with a focus on socioeconomic inequality.

I am on the 2025/26 job market.

Before starting my PhD, I worked as an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs and a research professional at the Becker Friedman Institute. I graduated from MIT in 2017 with an SB in physics and an SB in materials science.

I'm also a resident advisor at Next House and I was a student representative on the MIT Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid between 2022-2025.
