Richmond Fed - Research Associate Position

The Research Department has an opening for a Research Associate reporting
to the Economists in this area. In this entry level role, you will
perform economic and statistical analyses to support the research
initiated by Economists. This research is in part policy-oriented, and in
part academic, aimed at publication in top journals. Much of the analysis
will be conducted on personal and mainframe computers, using mathematical
and statistical software such as Matlab, Gauss, Stata and R. You will
present results of research to economists and management in oral or
written reports on an as needed basis, and at times within tight deadlines.

Potential applicants should apply for the RESEARCH ASSOCIATE position
(posted January 6 until March 1, position number 225374) online at

Please note that certain foreign students (without permanent resident
status) ARE eligible for this position. The Richmond Fed does not sponsor
RAs for H1-B visas; however, if a student has a math major or second
major, then they may be eligible for additional practical training after
graduation (17 months, I believe), beyond the usual one year OPT. If a
student qualifies for 29 months OPT, then we will consider him or her for
an RA position.
