The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Research Assistant position application is NOW OPEN for those looking to start in the Summer of 2024. 

The position is structured as part of a two-year program for recent graduates with a background in economics, mathematics, statistics, finance, computer science, or related fields. Research Assistants work with a range of economists while utilizing their quantitative and analytical skills to contribute to time-critical analysis of current economic data as well as assist in conducting long-term academic research on a wide range of topics. This is a great space to work with and develop the skills necessary to pursue graduate studies in economics and related fields! 

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce. We recognize the benefit derived from different perspectives and experiences, and we look carefully at candidates’ records to identify individuals whose perspectives could benefit our work.

It is my pleasure to invite graduating seniors (graduating in 2023 or 2024) in the Economics Department to apply for the position of Junior Stanley Surrey Fellow in the Office of Tax Analysis (OTA), U.S. Department of the Treasury. 

Attached is a general description of our office and the position, and an overview of the work experiences of previous Fellows. The fellowship is a great entry level position for economics students who want to work in public policy, further develop skills and who enjoy a fast-paced collegial environment.

The position requires either 1) a degree in economics including 21 semester hours in economics and 3 semester hours in statistics, accounting, or calculus; or 2) a combination of formal education and experience that is equivalent to a major in economics with the appropriate course work. Fellows must also be U.S. citizens.

The fellowship is a 2-year full-time, paid work position (GS-7 or 9 depending on experience) in Washington, D.C. and is often used as a bridge between undergraduate and graduate education. Fellows are up for promotion to a higher grade level after one year. Our office is currently on a hybrid work schedule with 2 required workdays in the Treasury Building. The number of required workdays in the office may increase.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume and an unofficial transcript to OTA_Research_Assistant@treasury.gov.
