Opportunity Insights Predoctoral Fellowships

Location: Cambridge, MA

Application Due Date: February 8, 2024

Opportunity Insights (OI) is hiring several fellows for their predoctoral program beginning in July 2024. These full-time positions will be based in Cambridge, MA. Predoctoral fellows will work closely with Raj Chetty (Harvard), John Friedman (Brown), Nathan Hendren (MIT), and other OI collaborators at Harvard and other universities.

The predoctoral fellowship is geared toward students interested in working for two years after graduating from an undergraduate or master’s program. Predoctoral fellows will work on research and analyses related to economic mobility. Additionally, predoctoral fellows have opportunities to participate in seminars and other research activities in a team-oriented lab environment. The program serves as a good bridge between college and graduate school for students interested in applied economics and mobility scholarship. The Spring application deadline is Thursday, February 8, 2024.

We particularly encourage applications from groups traditionally under-represented in Economics. Even if applicants are uncertain whether their technical research skills or subject-matter knowledge will be competitive, we strongly encourage their application.
