Federal Reserve Bank of NY: Research Analyst Positions

Research Analysts play an integral role in both the policy and research functions of the Research and Statistics Group. Research Analysts work closely with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's economists, whose specialties include macroeconomics, microeconomics, banking and payment systems, capital markets, and international economics. 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, their RAs have gone on to pursue PhDs in economics or finance at MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, and Wharton, among other institutions. RAs have also gone on to law and public policy programs at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and other universities.

They seek candidates who have records of superior scholarship and academic curiosity. Research Analysts usually have a strong background in economics, policy, mathematics, or computer science, 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 related fields.

In addition, they seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly those that are typically underrepresented in economics. It is important to them that they succeed in recruiting a diverse cohort of research analysts each year. Thus they encourage many students with varying experiences and backgrounds to apply.

Applications are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/careers/research_analysts/index.html. It is recommended that candidates apply by October 15.

Snider Undergraduate Research Experience

The Snider Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) presents undergraduate students in any field at the University of Maryland College Park with an individualized research experience.

SURE fellows work with the program’s director to choose a research topic. Then they are uniquely matched with a faculty champion who has expertise in that subject area and acts as the fellow’s advisor. The SURE experience culminates in a public presentation to faculty and peers and a publication. During the program, fellows attend workshops in scoping, research writing and presentation. Fellows receive a $500 stipend for participating as well as course credit.

The program promises not only to expose students to hands-on research methodologies but also to offer underclassmen an opportunity to contribute to the collective knowledge pool. Little experience is needed; however, determination, time-management, open-mindedness are qualities that distinguish an outstanding SURE fellow.

While the program aims to investigate enterprise, a business background is not required. Previous cohorts have welcomed fellows from computer science, business, public policy, behavioral and social sciences. SURE cohorts celebrate diversity of educational background, but encourage enterprise-focused research topics. 

Applications close October 19th. If selected, you will be contacted for an interview after the application closes. Fellows will be selected and inaugurated into the program by the close of the fall semester. During the spring semester fellows are expected to invest five to ten hours a week in the program with final deliverables completed by mid-April.

Charles River Associates: Antitrust & Competition Practice Analyst Position

Who They Are
CRA’s Antitrust and Competition Practice was founded over 50 years ago by professors specializing in antitrust policy, led by Prof. Franklin Fisher (MIT). Since that time, their work with leading antitrust scholars from prominent academic institutions has included the economic analyses underlying major antitrust lawsuits, merger reviews, or government investigations into anticompetitive behavior. Given their expertise and history, their engagements closely mirror rigorous analysis in academia – with foundations in economic theory as well as robust data analysis. And their current roster of projects and clients places their work near the forefront of today’s vigorous discussions regarding antitrust policy and innovation.
