The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ Institute for Economic Equity (IEE) is seeking applicants for its Research Fellows program. The Institute focuses on promoting a more equitable economy for households and communities in the Eighth Federal Reserve District and beyond through a data, analysis and narrative approach.

IEE invites scholars from around the country whose work aligns with the Institute’s three strategic research priorities:

• Understanding unequal labor market outcomes

• Examining factors impacting economic conditions in low-to-moderate income communities

• We are looking for fellows from various disciplines utilizing a wide range of methods.

Offer:

• Currently, fellows are paid up to $7,800 for the contract year, distributed incrementally based on deliverables.

• Fellows can rely on feedback of Institute staff to further their work. More in-depth and mutually beneficial collaboration is possible.
