The Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is looking for highly motivated students in Economics, Mathematics, Statistics or related disciplines to assist research economists with policy-oriented and academic research in a paid internship during the summer of 2023.
We are looking for candidates with diverse backgrounds, interests, and perspectives. We provide interns with many opportunities to learn in their daily work interactions with economists and RAs, as well as through seminars, lectures, and RA-led study groups. We provide a friendly and academically-oriented environment where interns can learn about academic research careers and the Fed. Interested students can learn more about the Research Department and the RA program online.
Interns will be responsible for literature reviews and writing computer code to analyze time-series and panel data alongside a Research Associate (RA) who mentors them throughout the summer. Interns are invited to give a presentation at the end of their stay on an academic article they studied or the data they helped analyze.
The intern and RA pool supports multiple economists with their academic research on wide-ranging topics including general equilibrium macroeconomic models, time-series econometrics, labor economics, financial economics, contract theory, public and health economics, industrial organization, and regional economics.
Applications close at the end of October. For more information and to apply, please see this link
