Economics Majors,

The Bureau of Economics of the Federal Trade Commission is hiring interns for Summer 2024. We are looking for advanced undergraduate economics students who are interested in exploring graduate school (such as those considering a pre-doc for the fall of 2025) or economic policy jobs after graduation. We are especially interested in students with substantive experience analyzing data in Stata, R, or Python, and excellent written and oral communication skills. 

We will only be accepting 150 applications, so we encourage any interested student to apply promptly https://www.usajobs.gov/job/784133800 and not wait for the deadline.

The intern would work with some of our 80 PhD economists to support economic analysis in support of antitrust and consumer protection investigations and/or applied microeconomics research projects. The intern would work in a leading policy and research group – FTC economists present at leading academic conferences and publish in top journals.

While the position title says that this is for an “office automation” role, the job would involve the tasks described above and that are in the job description.
