The Board of Governors and the 12 Federal Reserve Banks throughout the country are currently recruiting upcoming graduates to fill a number of Research Assistant positions that will become available in spring and summer 2021. 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 you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone.

Networking For Future (NFF) and Cisco Threat Hunting Workshop
Hands-On, Real-World Dynamic Attack Labs
Thursday, October 1, 2020 | 9a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET
In the heat of a crisis, every keystroke counts and indecision could cost your organization millions. What separates security pros from security liabilities? A plan – and practice.
Join Networking For Future (NFF) and the Cisco Security Team for this complimentary hands-on Threat Hunting Workshop to help enhance your knowledge, improve your skills, and test your abilities. The Threat Hunting Workshop is intended for everyone who has a need to use threat hunting skills.
This breakthrough interactive experience rejects the typical, boring webinar format. You are immediately hands-on, responding to dynamic attacks, containing incidents that organizations face every day.
In the Threat Hunting Workshop, you will:
· Uncover best practices for threat hunting
· Learn how to incorporate threat hunting into your daily workflow
· Network with your peers to share strategies and techniques
· Execute seven real-world dynamic attack lab scenarios
WHEN
Thursday, October 1, 2020 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET
WHERE
This is an online Webex event. Space is limited to the first 50 registrants.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Threat Hunting Workshops are intended for everyone. The goal is not to sell products, but to teach the concepts and techniques of threat hunting using a unified, cloud-hosted set of threat data integrated across endpoint, DNS, threat research, and cloud security tools.
WHAT ARE THE SKILL REQUIREMENTS
You do not need an in-depth understanding of security operations or Cisco security products. The labs provide an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to understanding today's threat landscape and successfully securing your network before, during, and after an attack. Access to all the required products and tools will be provided.
All students completing the workshop will earn eight (8) CPE credits and receive a certificate of completion.
A secondary device is highly encouraged.
We're looking forward to seeing you online.
