Research Lead (Ethereum Ecosystem Analysis)
A leading team specializing in MEV research and development on Ethereum is seeking a Research Lead to spearhead efforts in analyzing the economic impact of an innovative transaction processing layer. Operating since 2020, the team has accumulated significant expertise in the Ethereum supply chain market, addressing complex technical challenges.
The project focuses on a novel solution for Ethereum transaction processing, introducing features such as:
▫️ Division of 12-second Ethereum slots into 1-second sub-slots
▫️ Feedback mechanisms for transaction inclusion status and intermediate block states
▫️ Dynamic transaction addition for subsequent sub-slots
▫️ Execution guarantees under specific network conditions
▫️ Comprehensive order flow privacy and fair blockspace auctions
As Research Lead, you will conduct a thorough analysis of this solution's economic impact on the Ethereum ecosystem, with a focus on:
▫️ Decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume
▫️ Block priority fees
▫️ Validator rewards
Requirements:
▫️ Proficiency in Python for data analysis
▫️ Experience with blockchain data analysis tools (e.g., Dune, The Graph, Nansen)
▫️ Advanced degree in Economics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
▫️ Strong understanding of the Ethereum ecosystem and DeFi
▫️ Familiarity with MEV concepts and validator economics
This is a part-time position with the potential to transition into a full-time role in the near future. The team offers flexible terms, above-market compensation, access to blockchain data, and key industry connections, along with mentorship from experts in the field.
