>>Dear Tia Newhall,
>>
>>We are writing on behalf of the Research Analyst recruiting team at the
>>Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 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.

>>RA Recruiting Team
