The Atlanta Fed’s Research Department sponsors a summer internship program for Ph.D. students to enable participants to conduct research, present results, and engage with experienced economists.
Ph.D. Internships at the Atlanta Fed
The Research Department seeks qualified candidates for summer 2025 internship positions. Ph.D. students in macroeconomics, applied microeconomics, or financial economics who are actively working on their dissertation are encouraged to apply.
The program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to advance their research project and participate in the intellectual life of the Department. Interns will be mentored by experienced economists on their research as well as on a variety of potential career concerns. They will also have the opportunity to present their work in our seminar series and interact with staff and visiting economists.
Interns are hosted for up to six weeks, beginning mid-July to August, and receiving compensation during the program. Interns are expected to adhere to the Department’s attendance schedule and be in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at a minimum.
Please note that all program participants must be authorized to legally work in the United States. Applicants who are not currently authorized to work in the United States must make arrangements independently to obtain the necessary work permissions to be able to participate in the program.
