Each fall we recruit Research Analysts to >>work closely with the economists in our Research Group starting the >>following fall. We request your assistance in finding talented seniors to >>fill these positions. Your familiarity with undergraduates at your >>institution will be of tremendous help in this effort. >> >>Research Analysts play an integral role in both the policy and research >>functions of the Research and Statistics Group. Our economists, whose >>specialties include banking and payment systems, capital markets, >>international economics, macroeconomics, and microeconomics, work closely >>with Research Analysts. Upon leaving the Fed, Research Analysts who choose >>to apply to graduate school are consistently accepted by top programs; >>others pursue a wide variety of public and private sector opportunities. In >>recent years, our RAs have gone on to pursue PhDs in economics or finance >>at MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, >>and Wharton, among others. Previous RAs have also gone to law and public >>policy programs at Harvard Kennedy School, Princeton, Yale, and others. >> >>We seek candidates who have records of superior scholarship and academic >>curiosity. Research Analysts usually come from strong economics, policy, >>mathematics, or computer science backgrounds, though a major in one of >>these fields is not a necessity. Successful candidates often have previous >>research experience, and many are considering careers in economic research, >>public policy, or other related fields. >> >>In addition, we seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds that are >>typically underrepresented in economics. It is important to us that we >>succeed in recruiting a diverse cohort of Research Analysts each year. Thus >>we encourage many students with varying experiences and backgrounds to >>apply. As a representative of your institution and student body, we ask >>that you please help us in passing this message along to any candidates you >>may know who may be otherwise hesitant to apply. >> >>Enclosed with this letter you will find a pamphlet with more details about >>the Research Analyst position. Please circulate these to interested >>candidates. Applications are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at >>www.newyorkfed.org/careers. It is recommended that candidates apply by >>October 6th. >> >>Sincerely, >>RA Recruiting Team >>Research & Statistics Group >>Federal Reserve Bank of New York >>33 Liberty Street >><https://maps.google.com/?q=33+Liberty+Street+%0D+New+York,+NY+10045&entry=gmail&source=g> >>New York, NY 10045-0001
