Ph.D. Summer Internship Opportunities
Ph.D. Internships at the New York Fed
Each year, the Research Group seeks qualified candidates for summer internship positions. Ph.D. students in all fields of economics and finance are invited to apply. The PhD interns are typically either postdocs or graduate students at the dissertation stage.
The program allows interns to participate as members of the research community while engaged in a research project of their own choosing. They are expected to work independently and will be mentored by experienced economists both on scientific issues, and career issues such as negotiating publications, the job market, and advancement strategies. They are encouraged to attend seminars and present at least one research seminar at the during their time at the Bank.
Opportunities include:
- Assisting economists and research associates in long-term, academically oriented research projects.
- Conducting econometric analyses intended for Bank publications as well as academic journals.
- Programming in statistical packages such as SAS, STATA, and MATLAB.
Interns are hosted for a period of ten weeks and receive compensation for the period in which they work in the program. The Bank believes in work flexibility to balance the demands of work and life while also connecting and collaborating with our colleagues in person. Employees can expect to be in the office a couple of days per week as needed for meetings and team collaboration and should live within a commutable distance.
How to Apply
The 2026 application is available via Workday. Please note the application deadline March 9. For questions, reach out to research_phdintern@ny.frb.org.
