Apply for a Fall 2020 internship at the SEC's Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA).

DERA's internship program offers participants extensive training, mentorship, and carefully crafted project placements at the intersection of agency research needs and students' discipline-specific interests. In addition to becoming familiar with the financial regulatory ecosystem, the rule-making process for securities markets, and various functions of the SEC, students get to work on challenging projects such as producing analysis to support ongoing rule making or litigation of enforcement actions.
