Sophomore Internship at New York Fed Research Group

Posted: 25 Aug 2020 07:15 AM PDT

Sophomore Analyst internship opportunities for rising sophomores (graduating in Winter 2022 or Spring 2023) in the New York Fed's Research and Statistics Group in the summer of 2021.

Analysts play an integral role in the research and policy work of New York Fed economists on topics including macroeconomics, microeconomics, banking and payment systems, capital markets, and international economics. The New York Fed has a highly respected program for full-time Research Analysts who join us for two years after graduating college and then successfully pursue graduate school, private-sector or public-sector positions. Our RAs have consistently been accepted by the very best U.S. graduate programs in economics and finance as well as in law and public policy. Our summer internship program is an excellent opportunity to experience the work of an analyst. We have an established Junior Analyst internship program, many of whom have returned as full-time RAs upon graduation. Today, we are contacting you about the Sophomore Analyst program which was recently created to also offer internship experiences to sophomores.

We seek candidates who have records of strong scholarship and academic curiosity.  Analysts usually have a background in economics, policy, mathematics, or computer science, though a major in one of these fields is not a necessity.  Successful candidates often have an interest in academic research, and many are considering careers in economic research, public policy, public service, or related fields.We explicitly seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly those that are typically underrepresented in the economics profession.  

Applications for Sophomore Analyst internships are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at https://www.newyorkfed.org/careers/student-programs-and-internships/sophomore-career-exploration-program

It is recommended that candidates apply by September 15th.
