Summary

The Federal Reserve Board is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a talented and diverse workforce. As such, we encourage submissions from groups traditionally less represented in economics and finance and from a wide range of Ph.D. programs. We recognize the benefit derived from different perspectives and look to foster this when reviewing candidates.

We offer paid in-residence fellowships for graduate Ph.D. students to conduct research at the Board in Washington, DC. While at the Board, fellows work on a topic of their own choosing, usually furthering dissertation research begun before the fellowship, and give 1-2 seminars on their work. Fellows are also encouraged to participate in our extensive seminar series, collaborate with Board economists, and to learn more about preparing for the job market.

Fellows are at the Board for 12 weeks and placements are in the Divisions of International Finance, Monetary Affairs, Research and Statistics, and Financial Stability. Most positions are offered in the summer, but occasionally we have positions in the spring and fall.
