Job Description
Research assistants (RAs) at the Philadelphia Fed play a key role in the Economic Research Department. Whether they are helping economists prepare briefings on current monetary policy issues, working on economic forecasts, writing some of our newsletters on economic conditions, or analyzing data for long-term research projects, RAs work as an essential part of our team and gain depth of experience. The Bank’s RA program is structured as a two-year program, with most RAs continuing on to graduate programs or other careers in economics or related fields after two years with the Bank. Employment is at-will.
NOTE: The start date for this position will begin in the Summer of 2025!
