| U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of International Affairs Junior Fellows Info Session Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:27 AM PDT  Date: October 9, 2020 Time: 10:00 AM We are pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of International Affairs (IA) is now accepting applications for our Junior Fellows Program. This is a two-year program for new college graduates to work shaping international economic policy for the United States. We are currently accepting applications through October 30, 2020. Applications will be evaluated in December 2020 for fellows to start in summer 2021 (or at a mutually agreed alternative time). Flyer attached that provides more detail about the program as well as "How to Apply" instructions. Strong candidates will have recently received – or will soon receive – a bachelor's degree with relevant coursework in economics, public policy, finance, or international relations. However, a major or concentration in these fields is not necessary for consideration. IA is committed to attracting and developing a diverse and inclusive workforce. We recognize that different perspectives and experiences among our employees are workforce strengths, and holistically evaluate each candidate's basis of public policy motivation, academic achievement, ability to bring perspectives that could benefit our work, and professional recommendations. As such, we especially encourage submissions from groups traditionally less represented in economics.  |
