Three research assistant (RA) positions are available in the Richmond Fed research department to start in June 2024. Candidates can apply here.
Applications considered on a rolling basis, but interested candidates encouraged to apply before February 18th. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or Green Card holders, since sponsorship or practical training extensions are not available for this position.
This is a full time, two-year position for candidates who will have completed their undergrad degree by the start date of June 2024; it should be particularly interesting to someone considering an academic career in economics.
The Richmond Fed research department is committed to mentoring their RAs and interns in their learning and next steps. About 50% of their RAs and interns go on to a PhD in economics, and they get placed in solid, and sometimes top, programs (in the last 3 years: Chicago, Stanford, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Cornell, Brown, UCLA, Wash U).
