Ph.D. Summer Internship and Fellowship Opportunities
Ph.D. Internships at the New York Fed
Each year, the Research Group seeks qualified candidates for two summer internship positions.
Ph.D. students in all fields of economics and finance who are planning to graduate in 2025 are
welcome to apply for the summer 2024 positions.
The program, begun in the summer of 2006, is designed to provide students with the opportunity to
participate in the intellectual life of the Research Group. Throughout the internship, the students'
time is dedicated to furthering their dissertation research, interacting with research economists, and
obtaining feedback on their work.
Interns are hosted for a period of eight weeks, between the second week of June and the first week of
August, and receive compensation for the period in which they work in the program. The position
will offer workplace flexibility, e.g., the possibility of working remotely on some days of the week.
The interns, however, will be expected to be in the office at least two days a week for meetings and
team collaboration and therefore to live within a commutable distance.
Please note that all program participants must be authorized to legally work in the United States.
Applicants who are not currently authorized to work in the United States must make arrangements
independently (for example, with their schools) to obtain the necessary work permissions to be able
to participate in the program. The New York Fed sponsors neither visas nor work permits for this
position.
How to Apply
Applications can be sent to research_phdintern@ny.frb.org. In the subject line, applicants should specify a primary and secondary field from the following: Microeconomics, Macro and Monetary Economics, International Finance and Trade, Financial Markets and Intermediation, Money and Payment Systems, or Asset Pricing and Market Microstructure. Each application should include:
- a CV
- the applicant’s dissertation proposal (there are no specific guidelines for the proposal; it can be any length and either technical or non-technical)
- any research papers (if available, including current work and preliminary drafts)
- a copy of the applicant’s graduate transcript (unofficial scanned copy is acceptable)
- one letter of reference from an advisor (sent by the advisor to the above email address)
The application period for 2024 has closed.
Summer Economics Fellows Program – Advancing the Economics Careers of Women and Underrepresented Minorities
The New York Fed’s Research Group also sponsors two positions in the AEA Summer Economics Fellows Program. The program allows the fellows to spend a summer in residence at a sponsoring institution, participating as members of the research community while engaged in a research project
of their own choosing. The fellowships at the New York Fed have the same time frame, duration, and
hybrid work model as the Ph.D. Summer Internships, with fellows expected to work onsite at least a
couple days a week. Applications should be sent directly to the AEA. Further information on the
program can be found on the
AEA website.

Former director of Research Beverly Hirtle spoke about her work experience and the role of research economists at the New York Fed in a St. Louis Fed podcast on Women in Economics: “What’s been particularly great [is that] the interesting [research] questions present themselves in the policy issues that we deal with all the time.”
