The Bureau of Economics of the Federal Trade Commission is hiring interns for Summer 2023. 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 2024) 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 75 applications, so we encourage any interested student to apply promptly https://www.usajobs.gov/job/715965300 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.)


Please contact us with any questions.

Kedzierski (Department of Economics) provided us with a fine example of how not to win the URCAD Selfie Contest on April 12, 2023.

"Pretty sure I'm going to win that $100," said Kedzierski, a longtime UMBC employee, who submitted her selfie by mail this morning. Unfortunately, Kedzierski ended up taking a photo of the parking lot outside her office window. This is a salient example of how not to take a selfie.

"Oh," said Kedzierski, when she first set eyes on her selfie attempt. "Must be something wrong with my phone. Probably something in settings. Or maybe I didn't enable cookies. It's always a problem with cookies."

Ms. Kedzierski still has time, however, to submit a second attempt and she could still win one of several fabulous prizes. Here's how:

Dear Graduate Assistants,

This is a reminder to join us at the GAAC Town Hall happening tomorrow. This is a great opportunity for you to follow-up regarding your GA-employment concerns (shared in the Spring M&C survey) directly with the Graduate School Deans.

Please be mindful that we (GAAC) are a group of Graduate Assistants representing and voicing wider GA concerns to the administration. While, GAAC strives to productively work and coordinate with administrators to ensure a good work environment for you, i.e. the Graduate Assistants, we cannot achieve this without your support.

Please RSVP for the event here.

Event Details:
- Venue: COMM 331
- Time: 12-1pm
- Light refreshments will be served. 

In the interest of time, we would be only discussing GA concerns that have been sent out to GAAC through the Spring 2023's Meet and Confer survey. If you have not done already, please take out 5 minutes and fill out this survey and get a chance to win $25 giftcard: https://forms.gle/VsMhpM4GMGUTeC7v7

Here are a few helpful resources to look at before you fill in the survey:

- Slides from Fall 2022 M&C between GAAC and the Deans
- Annual M&C report (2022) sent out to USM from UMBC
- For more information on what Meet and Confer entails, go here: https://gsa.umbc.edu/gaac/documentation-library-on-mc/

Dear UMBC Community,


We are pleased to celebrate the culmination of our UMBC Bold Campus Conversations this week with our session on Economic Development and Partnerships on April 4.


As we move into our next phase, we are working with our subcommittee co-chairs to compile information and themes from across all of the sessions into a report that we will share with President Sheares Ashby. This report will inform the university’s next strategic plan.


If you were unable to attend any of the sessions, or you have more that you would like to share, there is still time to complete this form. The form will be available through the end of April. 


Thank you so much for your significant and meaningful engagement in this process. We are excited to see how these conversations help our university grow and achieve our BOLD aspirations.
