Research Assistant Positions at the IMF

International Monetary Fund

Research Assistant Program (RAP)

The IMF accepts applications for the Research Assistant Program (RAP) at the beginning of each calendar year. The RAP is intended for those who have recently earned bachelor’s degrees with superior academic records from leading universities and would like to gain useful work experience before pursuing further studies or moving on to other employment opportunities. RAP participants mainly support the operational and policy work of IMF economists.

As a RAP participant, you may be asked to:

•      research, collect, and compile information;
•      maintain and update quantitative and qualitative economic, financial, or statistical databases;
•      process, consolidate, and transform data sets within and between databases using statistical and/or econometric techniques;
•      evaluate economic, financial, or statistical relationships in databases;
•      analyze economic time-series data; and
•      design systems to facilitate interfaces or to transfer data between external and in-house databases.

Requirements

In order to apply for the RAP, you should:

•     have completed your bachelor’s degree within the last year or be in the last semester before graduation. Relevant degrees include economics, computer science, statistics, finance, or mathematics;
•     have at least a 3.5 GPA (cumulative) in both your principal field of study and in your overall program; and
•     be prepared to submit a final academic transcript prior to appointment.

Appointments are limited to two years and as a program participant, you would be expected to leave the IMF at the end of the two-year period.

Research Analyst Position at the New York Fed

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is currently looking to recruit Research Analysts to work closely with the economists in our Research Group starting the following fall.

Research Analysts play an integral role in both the policy and research functions of the Research and Statistics Group. Our economists, whose specialties include banking and payment systems, capital markets, international economics, macroeconomics, and microeconomics, work closely with Research Analysts. Upon leaving the Fed, Research Analysts who choose to apply to graduate school are consistently accepted by top programs; others pursue a wide variety of public and private sector opportunities. In recent years, our RAs have gone on to pursue PhDs in economics or finance at MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, and Wharton, among others. Previous RAs have also gone to law and public policy programs at Harvard Kennedy School, Princeton, Yale, and others.

We seek candidates who have records of superior scholarship and academic curiosity. Research Analysts usually come from strong economics, policy, mathematics, or computer science backgrounds, though a major in one of these fields is not a necessity. Successful candidates often have previous research experience, and many are considering careers in economic research, public policy, or other related fields.

In addition, we seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds that are typically underrepresented in economics. It is important to us that we succeed in recruiting a diverse cohort of Research Analysts each year. Thus we encourage many students with varying experiences and backgrounds to apply

Applications are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at www.newyorkfed.org/careers. It is recommended that candidates apply by October 6th.
