The Board of Governors and the 12 Federal Reserve Banks throughout the country are currently recruiting upcoming graduates to fill multiple Research Assistant positions that will become available in spring and summer 2023.
The positions are full-time, salaried, and offer full benefits, including tuition assistance. Thank you for distributing this information to graduating students in your department to alert them of these openings.
The Federal Reserve System 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’ applications to identify individuals whose perspectives could benefit our work. As such, we especially encourage submissions from individuals of groups traditionally less represented in economics.
Research Assistants work closely with economists at the top of their fields on a variety of research questions and real-world policy issues while developing a toolkit beneficial for graduate study and future career paths. Research Assistants typically work for two to three years, before going on to competitive graduate programs or pursuing other careers.
We seek individuals with strong academic records and excellent written and oral communication skills. Competitive candidates should have intermediate coursework in economics and a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics. We also look for prior research experience, demonstrated interest in economics, programming experience, and familiarity with statistical programming packages, such as STATA, MATLAB, and R. Most positions require US citizenship, but some Reserve Banks consider non-U.S. citizen candidates.
Interested students will find general information about our Research Assistant program at www.fedeconjobs.org. This site also directs candidates to specific information and application instructions for each of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Board. Candidates must submit separate applications to each location of interest.
[If students have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email.]
Sincerely,

The application will be open until September 14, 2022.
We're specifically looking for students available to work during the following hours:
Technology Support Center (TSC) student consultants are the first points of technical contact for the UMBC community and those who do well often go on to work in other areas of the Division of Information Technology (DoIT).

The continental United States is experiencing an increase in the frequency and intensity of precipitation events which often lead to flooding. In the state of Maryland, between 2006 and 2020, 78% of state highways reported nuisance flooding incidents occurred outside of FEMA’s 500 and 100 year floodplains. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County applied the same analysis to its campus transportation system – UMBC Transit. UMBC Transit covers over 88 miles of roadways and serves around 1,000 individuals daily. The study found that nearly every transit route was vulnerable to experiencing a flooding disruption with 72.5% of the flooding events occurring outside of FEMA flood zones. This session is designed to engage the audience, on the effective use of environmental intelligence, and provide an example methodology for others to utilize and deploy at their home campus. The session will review how to obtain the information, analyze the data, and use the results to catalyze climate action on one’s campus.
This is a friendly reminder that the last day to add yourself to a waitlisted course is today Wednesday, September 7th.
Remember, waitlist courses do not count towards your enrolled total credit count. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Please reach out to your advisor, if you need further assistance. Thank you.
