Research Assistants
Each year, we hire approximately forty recent undergraduate and graduate students to work as Research Assistants. They work closely with the economic research staff, applying quantitative skills to both real-world policy issues and high-level research projects.
Our Research Assistants have undergraduate degrees in economics or in related fields such as statistics, mathematics, finance, or computer science. Typically, our Research Assistants work at the Federal Reserve Board for about two years before going on to graduate programs or careers in economics, business, or related disciplines.
