2-Year Financial Analyst Program in Northern Virginia with Alum's Firm

Check out the posting below and apply through Handshake to work with John Repetti (econ '85) at Sila Solutions. If you have questions about the position, Jen will be glad to connect you directly with John.
Please let Jen know if you apply.

Financial Management – Analyst Program (FMAP) is a 24-month program designed to jump-start a career in finance and accounting. It is designed for a high potential recent college graduate who majored in something other than business such as math, economics, or other quantitative majors. In this role you will learn foundational finance and accounting skills and how to combine those skills with your current quantitative and data analytics background to help Sila’s leadership build and grow the company.

This is a unique rotational position that only becomes available every few years once the current participant completes the program. While the FMAP is designed for 24 months, most participants continue with Sila (average tenure of 4 years) before continuing their financial careers outside of Sila.

Past participants have gone on to join big 4 firms, Deloitte, EY and PwC, as well as BRG, a leading economic and financial consulting firm. Past participants have all carved out financial career tracks that matched their long-term objectives including traditional public accounting, corporate finance, M&A due diligence, data analytics and financial modeling.

Sila Solutions Group is a technology and management consulting firm, and you will be working with the consulting leadership to build their practice groups as well as providing financial data and analysis to the founders of Sila to set overall company strategy.

This program is designed for and ideal for those seeking to ultimately become a CFO/COO working directly with founding entrepreneurs. The foundation of this program is accounting based and earning a CPA is an essential part of completing the FMAP. We have a 100% pass rate for past participants. After completing the FMAP, you will have a deep understanding of Sila’s business and by extension the business of professional services firms serving both Fortune 500 and Federal clients. You will be challenged with interesting work, mentored by senior leadership, and supported by generous training and full support to earn professional certifications such as the CPA. More than anything, you will see a direct connection between your work and the impact on growing a company.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in economics, math, statistics, or related field
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (including Power Query and Power Pivot)
  • Ability to summarize analysis and data in a form that can be presented to Senior Management
  • Ability to work both independently and in a team environment
  • Strong attention to detail and high sense of ownership in your work product
  • Will consider a candidate with less than 2 yrs. of accounting experience who wants to broaden their experience to see the whole business.
  • Experience and familiarity with Quickbooks Desktop (nice to have)

Research Assistant at Darden for Econ Majors

Research Assistant at Darden for Econ Majors

Search for Undergraduate/Graduate Research Assistants

Job Description
Darden professors seek multiple undergraduate or graduate students to assist with collecting and
organizing information about the hardware and software security risks in the electronics supply chain.
The students will read through reports, mine public databases, and distill information into a database.

The electronics industry operates through a global supply chain that spans several continents.
Counterfeit components and compromised software enter at different nodes in this supply chain. Unlike
most categories of commonly counterfeited goods, like apparel and medicines, electronic components
are not end-products in themselves. Rather these components make their way into our civic and defense
infrastructure through multiple steps in the supply chain. Consequently, failure due to counterfeit
electronic components can threaten both public safety and national security. How these counterfeit
components and compromised software make their way up the supply chain remains unknown.

Each student will work on one of the following three components of the project:

1. Mapping the illicit supply chain: Combining information from IP and trade counterfeit reports to
map the illicit networks on product, information, and financial flows in this supply chain.
2. Software and hardware interaction: Collating the information across hardware and software
vulnerabilities to develop a security risk measure for the system.
3. Policies and regulations: Studying the local policies and regulations around operations of informal
and illicit networks around the electronics supply chain.

Requirements
• Education: Enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at UVA. (Work content will be
adapted to the student’s education level.)
• Experience, skills, knowledge:

  • Ability to read through multiple reports, mine public databases, and distill information into a

database (excel spreadsheet or other formats).

  • Familiarity with big datasets
  • Experience with statistical software packages such as STATA, R, and/or python required

It’d be helpful to have prior coursework or background in basic economics, data science/computer
engineering, public policy, sociology fields, but none of these is a requirement.

Hours: Flexible
Location: Remote
Compensation: According to education, skill, and experience

 

Application
Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter. If you’re interested in a specific component (of the
three mentioned above) of the project, please indicate that in your cover letter.

Research Assistants work closely with economists at the top of their fields on a variety of research questions and real-world policy issues while developing a toolkit beneficial for graduate study and future career paths. Research Assistants typically work for two to three years, before going on to competitive graduate programs or pursuing other careers. 
We seek individuals with strong academic records and excellent written and oral communication skills. Competitive candidates should have intermediate coursework in economics and a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics. We also look for prior research experience, demonstrated interest in economics, programming experience, and familiarity with statistical programming packages, such as STATA, MATLAB, and R. Most positions require US citizenship, but some Reserve Banks consider non-U.S. citizen candidates.
Interested students will find general information about our Research Assistant program at www.fedeconjobs.org.

Pre-Doctoral Fellowships with Opportunity Insights

Pre-Doctoral Fellowships with Opportunity Insights

PRE-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS – FALL RECRUITING ROUND
Full-Time Research Assistant Positions
Professors Raj Chetty & Nathaniel Hendren, Harvard University
John Friedman, Brown University

We are hiring several full-time pre-doctoral fellows to start in summer 2022 to work with our
research group, Opportunity Insights. Our team’s mission is to develop scalable policy solutions
that will empower families throughout the United States to rise out of poverty and achieve better
life outcomes. We pursue this mission primarily by conducting rigorous, scientific research that
harnesses the power of “big data” using an interdisciplinary approach. Much of the team’s ongoing
research uses quasi-experimental methods to identify causal effects and test the predictions of
economic and sociological models. Current projects study the long- term impacts of
neighborhoods, the role of colleges as a pathway to upward mobility, how social networks may
affect poverty, and the impacts of historical place-based policies on residents. Results from these
projects have appeared in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal and have been widely cited
in policy discussions, including the President's State of the Union address.

The positions will be based at Harvard University under the direction of Professors Chetty and
Hendren and at Brown University under the direction of Professor John Friedman. The fellowship
will include a variety of tasks that provide preparation for graduate school, such as analyzing data,
developing statistical models, creating presentations, and editing research papers. In addition to
working with faculty as research assistants, the pre-doctoral fellows frequently co-author papers
with other students or faculty members. Fellows will interact regularly with professors and their
collaborators – such as David Deming, Matthew Jackson, and Larry Katz – in a team-oriented lab
environment, with weekly lab meetings, seminars, and other events. Fellows also have the
opportunity to speak with members of the media about our research and support our policy team’s
work with partners around the country.

Fellows are also invited to participate in broader activities at Harvard and Brown, including
seminars and courses. The program serves as an ideal bridge between college and graduate school
for students interested in empirical economics. Most previous fellows have gone on to top Ph.D.
programs. Salary will be competitive.

As an organization focused on economic mobility, we value having a diverse research staff and
particularly encourage applications from groups traditionally under-represented in Economics.
Applicants should be completing (or have completed) a Bachelors or Master’s degree, have strong
quantitative skills and experience with empirical research methods. Candidates with research
experience are strongly preferred, especially those with programming experience in Stata, SAS, R,
and/or Python. Candidates need not be Economics majors, though they should have a strong
interest in and some experience with Economics. Successful candidates have come from a variety
of backgrounds (including from undergraduate and graduate programs, industry jobs, and other
research assistant positions), and have a range of skill levels and experience with coding.

Candidates would ideally begin around July 1, 2022 and work for us for two years before applying
to graduate school in Economics or another social science.

To apply, please:
1) Submit a formal application through Harvard University’s job site and Brown University’s job site.

2) Upload your resume, cover letter (optional), transcripts, and a writing sample through
our group's online form.

We will review applications, conduct interviews, and make offers throughout fall 2021. Our
interview process includes a coding exercise, a first-round interview, and a final round interview.
Applications for our fall round are due on Oct. 19 by 11:59pm. We expect to share decisions from
the fall round by November 15, 2021. Questions can be sent to
hiring.opportunity.insights@gmail.com.

We will also be hosting informational zoom sessions to answer any questions potential candidates
might have. The first will be held on Friday, September 24@ 3:30pm EST and will give a broad
overview of OI’s research and a more in-depth look at the work of the predocs. The second will be
on Friday, October 1 at 3:00pm EST
and will focus on guiding applicants through a sample data
exercise, a common component of the application process for these positions.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected
veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or
any other characteristic protected by law

NYFed Internship and Full Time Analyst Openings

NYFed Internship and Full Time Analyst Openings

Analysts play an integral role in the research and policy work of New York Fed economists on topics including macroeconomics, microeconomics, banking and payment systems, capital markets, and international economics. Analysts provide support with data analysis and visualization, econometric or statistical models, and public policy reports.

The New York Fed has a highly respected program for full-time Research Analysts who join us for two years after graduating college and then successfully pursue graduate school, private-sector or public-sector positions. Our RAs have consistently been accepted by the very best U.S. graduate programs in economics and finance as well as in law and public policy.

Our Junior Analyst internship program is an excellent opportunity to experience the work of an analyst. Junior summer analysts will support economists with ongoing projects, assisting in similar ways as full-time Analysts. Many participants of the internship program have returned as full-time RAs upon graduation.

We seek candidates who have records of strong scholarship and academic curiosity. Analysts usually have a background in economics, policy, mathematics, or computer science, though a major in one of these fields is not a necessity. Successful candidates often have an interest in academic research, and many are considering careers in economic research, public policy, public service, or related fields.

We explicitly seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, particularly those that are typically underrepresented in the economics profession. Our programs are at the beginning of the “pipeline” to an economics career so it is important to us that we recruit a diverse cohort of Analysts each year. 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.

Applications for Research Analyst positions (starting in Summer 2022) are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/careers/research_analysts/index.html. Candidates should apply by November 1st and are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Applications for Junior Analyst internships are also being accepted (graduating in Winter 2022 or Spring 2023). These positions are posted at https://www.newyorkfed.org/careers/student-programs-and-internships. Candidates should apply by November 1st.

New Fellowship Program - American Voices Project

New Fellowship Program - American Voices Project

 I am writing to let you know about an exciting new fellowship program that might interest your students. This program is built around a new project, led by top scholars from Stanford University and Princeton University, that will uncover how the American Dream is faring and how inclusive and opportunity-enhancing policy might be designed.

We’re now recruiting a select group of research fellows to become part of this study. The fellows will receive intensive training and then visit communities across America to talk with families about their lives, hopes, and dreams. It’s not a survey, it’s not a poll, but an honest and open conversation that we’re holding in all 50 states. 

The fellows will then learn how to analyze the interviews with the latest data science methods, identify the country’s emerging problems, and begin the task of building 21st-century policy that responds to the voices of the people. It will be a life-changing experience that prepares the next generation of leaders in academia, government, politics, nonprofits, and beyond. 

I’m hoping that you’ll share this opportunity with your students. The fellowship begins in June 2019 and concludes in August 2020. We offer two application deadlines: January 7, 2019, and February 7, 2019. For more details, check out our website or this overview of the fellowship program. Students can submit applications directly through our website. 

We look forward to receiving applications from your students. And I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! 

Sincerely,
Amelia Dmowska

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Internship

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Internship

 

Forensic Economist Intern Program:  September --December 2018 (Unpaid)

 

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission - Division of Enforcement

 

Who We Are:

 

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is an independent agency mandated to regulate commodity futures, swaps and options trading in the United States. Through oversight and regulation, the CFTC fosters open, competitive, and financially sound futures and option markets, and protects market participants against manipulation, abusive practices, and fraud related to the sale of commodity and financial futures and options.

 

The Division of Enforcement investigates and prosecutes alleged violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations. For example, the Division brings enforcement actions against: individuals and firms registered with the Commission; those who violate these laws in connection with their trading commodity futures and options on designated domestic exchanges; those who improperly market futures and options contracts to retail investors or perpetrate Ponzi schemes; those who use manipulative or deceptive schemes in connection with commodities, futures or swaps; and those who engage in disruptive trading practices. The Division bases investigations on information it develops independently, as well as information provided by other Commission Divisions, industry self-regulatory associations, state, federal, and international authorities, and members of the public. At the conclusion of an investigation, the Division may recommend that the Commission initiate administrative proceedings or seek injunctive and ancillary relief on behalf of the Commission in United States District Courts around the country.

 

Description of the Program:

The Division of Enforcement selects graduate or undergraduate candidates seeking a degree in Economics or other quantitative disciplines each semester to work as unpaid Forensic Economist Interns in its Washington, D.C. headquarters. Participants will work with the Division’s Forensic Economist Unit for approximately twenty (20) to forty (40) hours per week. Interns may arrange to earn course credit through their school for work performed during their CFTC internship.

The intern serves as a technical expert for assisting Division of Enforcement staff in conducting legal investigations into certain activities observed in derivatives markets. The intern will utilize empirical research and analytical tools to advise Division of Enforcement attorneys, investigators and economists on assigned commodity markets to assess whether trading conduct by certain entities is potentially in violation of anti-manipulation or anti-disruptive trading practice provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act or related Commission Regulations. Interns will also have the opportunity to attend Industry/Legal/Technical Training Programs alongside CFTC staff on such topics as futures trading, electronic markets, swaps, energy derivatives, international futures markets and regulation, forex, and trade practices.

 

Qualifications:

Applicants should possess strong writing and analytical skills, and preferably, possess experience with financial instruments – commodities, derivatives, securities, and foreign exchange; completed coursework related to econometrics, data analysis techniques and financial regulation is also highly desirable. All applicants with a strong interest in financial regulation, investigation, and data analysis are welcomed and encouraged to apply.

 

If seeking college credit, a student advisor may be required to certify an Intern’s participation in this program. The student advisor will ensure that the appropriate credit is given to the Intern for participating in this program if offered by their school.

 

Applicants preferably should be U.S. Citizens, although visa students may be eligible. Although Interns are not employees of the CFTC, they are required to abide by the rules of the Commission’s Code of Conduct pertaining to, among other things, futures transactions, conflicts of interest, and the confidential nature of information obtained in their work at the CFTC.

 

How to Apply:

Application materials may be sent via email to Dr. John Buffington ( jbuffington@cftc.gov) by August 3  2018. Submit the following documents in your application package:

 

Cover letter; Resume; Transcript (unofficial transcript is acceptable).

We have an opportunity to engage one or two interns this Fall (Sep-Dec 2018)  to work with our group of forensic economists in an unpaid internship of 20 hours a week, with the opportunity to be supervised in a directed study course for credit, if your university will permit this. This internship will be at our DC office near DuPont Circle.

 

The ideal student would be an advanced undergraduate or graduate who would benefit from exposure to the tools of applied economic analysis, and who is interested in becoming more proficient at SAS and/or Python and/or Bloomberg research.

 

We offer an illuminating opportunity to work on cases that will eventually be in the news, and the benefits that can only be obtained by job shadowing.

 

Please forward this on to appropriate faculty members, who can have the students contact me directly with a statement of interest and a brief CV of their background. I have also included a document you could post.

 

We hope to get names in for security clearance by August 10 , so I will close applications at the COB August 3.

Since our co-founders started the company in 2013, Solovis has grown from a two-man operation to more than 40 employees with offices in Charlottesville, VA and Dallas, TX. And we’re not done growing yet. We expect to add at least 20 more new employees this year. At Solovis, we recognize our employees by personally investing in them and providing a rewarding corporate culture centered around growth, training, and an opportunity to shape the future of our product.

The Position

We’re looking for several Data Analysts to help fill out our team in both our Charlottesville and Dallas locations. Data Analysts make up a critical component of our client implementation team, as Solovis clients need good historical data in order to maximize the power of the Solovis platform.  Our Data Analysts embrace the challenge of analyzing, interpreting, transforming and loading large data-sets. They are responsible for complex data analysis and problem solving, project organization and documentation, and client support and training. Additional duties include:

  • Managing multiple projects, responsibilities and competing priorities.
  • Creating and maintaining comprehensive project documentation.
  • Participating in weekly client meetings.
  • Presenting data findings and working with other members of the Implementation team to identify and implement strategies that will address tactical and strategic client goals.
  • Analyzing and communicating client’s business and reporting requirements.
  • Assisting with client reporting and dashboard creation.

You’ll start by going through a “boot camp” where you’ll learn about our software and the investment industry. Then you’ll spend your days working in spreadsheets; extracting, segmenting, and interpreting financial data. You need to be the kind of person who takes pride in receiving a large mass of messy data and producing a neat, accurate portfolio model in our system.

People who love this job:

  • Love details.
  • Are at ease with numbers.
  • Quickly become familiar with investment reporting including back office / accounting and front office / performance, exposure, liquidity, etc.
  • Are forward-thinking and able to identify gaps in requests and how that may impact future decisions.
  • Enjoy suggesting strategies to meet process improvement and quality objectives and continually introduce innovation to business processes through data analysis.
  • Can apply industry knowledge to data problems.
  • Learn quickly and thrive in a fast-faced environment.
  • Are disciplined and creative enough to follow a checklist without being constrained by it.
  • Are comfortable working on their own or in a group setting.
  • Want a job where they can learn new things every day.
  • Live in or are willing to relocate themselves to Charlottesville, VA or Dallas, TX.

Data Analysts

  • Up to three years of experience.
  • May have had an internship in a related business like an endowment or investment manager.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, be self-motivated, have a strong desire to learn, and be adaptable to a fast paced, ever-changing environment.
  • Strong Excel skills (there will be a test!)

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA FOR UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA STUDENTS

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA FOR UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA STUDENTS

Gotoco is a small social enterprise committed to promoting cultural exchange between China and the English-speaking world. Social enterprises are businesses committed to helping improve local, national and global communities and reinvest any profits into their social mission. Our aim is to introduce more Western university students to China and its diverse culture. We seek to improve tomorrow’s international relations by allowing the next generation of leaders to engage with one of the most economically, politically and culturally important countries of the 21st century. Our programs are unique because we do not charge anyone to take part. Many programs similar to us impose significant fees on students--we do not do this to ensure as many people as possible can go and explore this fascinating country.

In summers 2016 and 2017, we helped over 500 students from universities across the UK and USA visit China and teach English to Chinese children in summer camps spread around the country. We now want to expand this opportunity to more students at University of Virginia. Through our programs, students can spend a month or two teaching in picturesque and exciting parts of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Yangshuo. While inspiring the next generation of Chinese children to learn English, the students would also take part in Mandarin lessons, cultural trips and travelling. We make it our policy not to charge students to go to China so that as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part. Students only need to pay for their flights and visas, then they get accommodation and food provided free of charge at their schools. We also guarantee every volunteer a week’s accommodation in Yangshuo, Guangxi--one of the most beautiful and exciting parts of the country--at the end of their summer camp.

Project Description:

In summers 2016 and 2017, Gotoco helped over 500 students from universities across the UK and USA visit China and teach English to Chinese children in summer camps all over the country. Now they hope to expand this opportunity to students at UVA!

Where?
Gotoco has programs in over 60 locations across China, including large urban centers like Beijing and Guangzhou, smaller cities including Hangzhou, Qingdao and Shantou, and scenic rural areas around Guangxi, Yunnan and Gansu.

China has very diverse and impressive natural environments, as well as bustling metropolises, and we encourage you to travel and explore as many as you can when you come to China with us!

SUMMER ANALYST INTERNSHIP POSITION AT THE NEW YORK FED

SUMMER ANALYST INTERNSHIP POSITION AT THE NEW YORK FED

The Summer Analyst Internship program provides undergraduates an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the work done by the Research and Statistics Group.   Over the course of the summer, our economists—whose specialties include banking and payment systems, capital markets, international economics, macroeconomics, and microeconomics—work closely with Summer Analysts on long-term, academically orientated research projects as well as current public policy work. In addition to their daily responsibilities, summer analysts attend events and weekly presentations hosted by senior management. These presentations provide a broad and extensive overview of the Bank's responsibilities and operations. In addition to serving as a prime learning opportunity for undergraduates interested in economic research, the summer analyst program also establishes a strong pool of candidates for recruitment into the full-time Research Analyst position at the FRBNY upon graduation.

We seek candidates who have records of superior scholarship and academic curiosity.  Summer 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 summer 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.

Governor McAuliffe Announces Launch of New Virginia Management Fellows Program

 

~ Program aimed at preparing next generation of government leaders; developed in conjunction with Virginia Tech ~

 

RICHMOND – Governor Terry McAuliffe today announced the application launch for the first Virginia Management Fellows (VMF) class. The program is an initiative of the Commonwealth of Virginia developed with Virginia Tech to meet the state’s needs for future leaders. Recent undergraduate, Master’s, or Ph.D.-level graduates who are dedicated to serving the residents of Virginia will compose the first cohort of fellows.

 

“I am pleased to announce the launch of the Virginia Management Fellows program today,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Virginia is blessed with the most talented and dedicated state workforce in the nation, and we are committed to cultivating the next generation of public servants to continue our success building the new Virginia economy. I look forward to seeing this first class of fellows grow into strong, confident leaders who will bring their talents to state government.”

 

The General Assembly approved the learning program, salary, and benefit structure of the VMF.  The program’s principal leader, Secretary of Finance Ric Brown, worked with finance colleagues, executive cabinet members, legislators, and faculty members from Virginia Tech’s School of Public and International Affairs to design a comprehensive learning program for the new fellows.   

 

The program aims to create a succession pipeline for leadership and management jobs in all branches of state government that will be in high demand as current employees begin to retire. According to recent data from the Commonwealth, 42 percent of general managers, 39 percent of financial managers, and 30 percent of compliance and safety officers will be eligible for retirement within the next five years.

 

“The VMF program is a major step in fulfilling Virginia’s need to cultivate talented next-generation leaders who can understand and actively affect how things are done at the state level,” said Secretary of Finance Ric Brown. “These fellows will enter government leadership roles uniquely qualified to tackle the ‘bigger picture’ issues and practical challenges of state strategic management and leadership.”

 

The fellows position is a two-year leadership and management development certificate program with a cutting-edge approach to state leadership learning. The position includes salary and full benefits, as well as access to the Virginia Retirement System programs. At the end of the fellowship period, fellows will be able to apply for high-demand positions within state government.

 

"The School of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech is excited to be a partner in this innovative program to develop public service leadership for the Commonwealth through hands-on learning, coursework, mentoring, outstanding faculty, and more,” saidAnne Khademian, director of the School of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech.

 

The program features four major learning components: customer service; operations; legislation, regulation, and compliance; and analytics. Each fellow is assigned to and embedded within a state agency for a rotation around these learning areas. A special feature of the rotation is the support and guidance of a mentor-leader.  

 

Participating agencies include the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Department of Criminal Justice Services, Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission, Virginia Department of Health, House Appropriations Committee, Department of Human Resources Management, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Planning and Budget, Senate Finance Committee, State Council of Higher Education in Virginia, State Corporation Commission, Virginia Retirement System, Department of Taxation, and Department of the Treasury.

 

In addition to the agency rotations and mentor training, Virginia Management Fellows will research, study, and understand public administration theories and processes in seminars and lectures designed specifically for the Commonwealth. The fellows will learn public administration management and leadership theory and practice in a leadership development program certificate earned across the two-year fellowship program. The educational elements of the program are designed, researched, tested, and implemented by faculty from the School of Public and International Affairs in Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies.

STANFORD OPPORTUNITY LAB PRE-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS

STANFORD OPPORTUNITY LAB PRE-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS

Full-Time Research Assistant Positions
Professors Raj Chetty, John N. Friedman, and Nathaniel Hendren

We are looking to hire several full-time pre-doctoral fellows for the academic year 2018-19 to work with our research group on the Equality of Opportunity Project. The overarching mission of the project is to develop scalable policy solutions that will empower families throughout the United States to rise out of poverty and achieve better life outcomes. We pursue this mission primarily by conducting rigorous, scientific research that harnesses the power of “big data” using an interdisciplinary approach. Current projects study the long-term impacts of neighborhoods, the role of colleges as a pathway to upward mobility, the determinants of innovation and entrepreneurship, and how social networks may affect poverty. The research uses “big data” and quasi-experimental methods to identify causal effects and test the predictions of economic and sociological models. Recent results from these projects have appeared in the New York Times and have been cited in the President's State of the Union address.

We anticipate positions available in Stanford CA, Cambridge MA, Providence RI, and Washington D.C. under the direction of Professors Chetty, Friedman, and Hendren. The fellowship will include a variety of tasks that provide preparation for graduate school, such as analyzing data, developing statistical models, creating presentations, and editing research papers. In addition to working with faculty as research assistants, the pre-doctoral fellows frequently co- author papers with other students or faculty members. Fellows will interact regularly with professors and their collaborators – such as David Deming, Matthew Jackson, and Emmanuel Saez –in a team-oriented lab environment, with weekly lab meetings and other informal events. The program serves as an ideal bridge between college and graduate school for students interested in empirical economics. Most previous fellows have gone on to top Ph.D. programs. Salary will be competitive.

Applicants should be completing (or have completed) a Bachelors or Master’s degree and have strong quantitative and programming skills. Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those with experience in Stata, SAS, R, Python, or Hadoop. Candidates need not be Economics majors, though they should have a strong interest in and some experience with Economics. Candidates would ideally begin on June 1, 2018 and work for us for two years before applying to graduate school in Economics or another quantitative social science.

To apply, please:
1) Submit a formal application through Stanford (Job Number: 76029)

page1image21240 page1image21408 page1image21568 page1image21728 page1image21888 page1image22048 page1image22368

2) Upload your resume, cover letter (optional), resume, transcripts, and a writing sample through our group's online form.

Questions can be directed to Sarah Merchant and Jamie Gracie at chettylab@gmail.com. We will review applications, conduct interviews, and make offers in two rounds: one in mid-fall and one in late-winter. Applications received by October 31, 2017, will be eligible for the first round. First-round decisions will be announced around November 15, 2017. All applications received before February 28, 2018 will be considered for the second round, and those decisions will be made around March 15, 2018.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you sponsor visas for international candidates? Yes, we sponsor J-1 and H-1B visas.

2. What kind of writing sample should I submit?
The writing sample should ideally be an economics research paper, but you may submit whatever you feel best demonstrates your analytic and writing abilities. It can be any length.

3. Can I get feedback on my application?
Given the number of applications we receive, we are sorry that we cannot provide individual feedback.

4. What are you looking for in an applicant?
Successful applicants have strong transcripts including advanced courses in economics, math, or computer science. We look for demonstrated interest in and experience with economics research, through the writing sample and resume. US citizens with a background in computer science are particularly encouraged to apply.

5. Are there any summer research assistant opportunities?
Our group only hires full-year pre-doctoral fellows. We encourage students to apply in the final year of their undergraduate or master’s program.

  • We’re considering investing hundreds of millions of dollars in rolling out the “store of the future” across our chain – what impact will our investment have on store sales?
  • A sports celebrity endorsement costs us tens of millions of dollars per year – is it worth it for us to continue the endorsement? 
  • We’ve designed two versions of a major new product line.  Which one would be more successful in our East Coast stores?
  • Do sponsored ads alongside Google search results drive off-line sales in brick-and-mortar stores?

 

APT answers these high stakes questions through a powerful combination of analytically-driven strategy consulting and enterprise software.

 

What does this mean to you?

At APT, you are expected to not only have a tremendous impact in transforming our clients, but also have a leading role in shaping APT’s future. If you are looking for the career opportunities of a high growth startup with the stability of a profitable organization, then APT could be the right place for you.

 

In recent years, APT has been named a Best Place to Work by Glassdoor, Top Workplace by The Washington Post, and a Top Workplace for Millennials by Fortune Magazine.

 

We look forward to meeting you!

Congressional Budget Office Assistant Analyst

Congressional Budget Office Assistant Analyst

Congressional

The Congressional Budget Office is a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. CBO’s Budget Analysis Division seeks an assistant analyst for a period not to exceed three years to work in its Income Security and Education Cost Estimates Unit, which provides analysis of Social Security, income security, nutrition, and housing programs. The assistant analyst provides support to other analysts in the unit through data collection and analysis (including statistical programming) and research assistance. The assistant analyst also provides independent cost analysis of some federal programs. Much of that work is done on a quick-turnaround basis, in response to the needs of Congressional committees.

The Congress relies on CBO’s work to prepare its annual budget plans, review the President’s budgetary proposals, and evaluate the budgetary effects of legislation. CBO’s analysts work closely with Congressional staff and agency officials; they have wide-ranging responsibilities and play a significant role in the legislative and budget process. Qualifications Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in economics or a related discipline. The position requires a person who can work well as part of a team, take the initiative to gather suitable data to address policy questions, and complete projects in a timely manner. Candidates must have strong quantitative and writing skills, be adept at using spreadsheets, and have some familiarity with statistical software. In addition, candidates should be able to accurately interpret and analyze legislative proposals, often handling multiple assignments at the same time, and have a desire to work on income security and education issues of current interest to the Congress.

This position is only for those with or obtaining a bachelor’s degree; it is not for those who have, or are completing, a master’s degree. Candidate must have, or be able to get, a favorably adjudicated Public Trust (Tier 2) Investigation which includes a credit check. A higher level security clearance may be accepted in place of the Public Trust.

Salary and Benefits

The salary is $40,000 to $44,000 per year; the salary will be commensurate with related experience. CBO offers excellent benefits and a collegial, respectful work environment.

How to Apply

Please submit a cover letter, résumé, brief writing sample, unofficial transcripts, and contact information for three references online at www.cbo.gov/careers. Only complete applications will be considered. To ensure consideration, please apply by June 12, 2017. This position is governed by the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act, as made applicable by the Congressional Accountability Act, as amended.   Contact Nancy Fahey or Angela Smart, Washington, DC, 202-226-2628, careers@cbo.gov

JPMorgan and Travel to China for Business Exposure

JPMorgan and Travel to China for Business Exposure

We would like to invite you to the “China Insight” Trek this coming August, with a focus on China’s rural country development & agriculture sector.

 

Held by World Youth Development Forum, “China Insight” Trek aims to offer students 360 degree view of China through structured visit. In the past 10+ years, we visited the State Council, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, Development and Reform Commission, the Bank of China, Alibaba, Didi, etc. We also met many high-level state and business leaders, such as the Vice Premier of PRC, the Governor of People’s Bank of China, Vice President of Alibaba, Vice President of China Development Bank; etc.

 

Please check out a video introduction of WYDF “China Insight” Trek 2016 throughhttp://english.cri.cn/12394/2016/03/31/4201s922586.htm and a video sharing from our former trekker Michael He of Harvard College at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cv-0vAqF_g if you are interested.

Each “China Insight” Trek has different theme and focus. 2017 August’s “China Insight” Trek’s theme is “Fast Developing Rural Countries”. It will start on August 9th in Beijing and finish on August 22th in Jinhua. During the 14-day trip, we will spend the first few days in Beijing to get to know central government and its policy, and spend the rest time in Jinhua, a rural country in Zhejiang province, to get first-hand experience of China’s rural country development.

This trek will combine a good amount of high-level official events and rural country entities visit with typical cultural and leisure activities, such as visiting historical places of interests. You will have the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of people and get an insider’s perspective of the "real" China, especially its developing strategy.

Just to give you a quick taste of what you will get:

THE HORIZONS FELLOWSHIP

THE HORIZONS FELLOWSHIP

The Horizons Fellowship supports 10 outstanding university students in their pursuit to become leaders in technology. The program provides immersive software engineering and web/mobile development courses geared towards high-achieving college students. Students need not have a computer science background! Our curriculum, developed by ex-Salesforce and Optimizely engineers alongside PhD candidates in computer science, is designed to teach students how to build web, mobile, and desktop applications. We have 4-month semester programs and 3-month summer programs in cities across the U.S.

Horizons students have gone on to receive offers from firms such as Google, Facebook, Slack, Yelp, McKinsey, BCG, Visa, J.P. Morgan, and more 

Our Horizons Speaker Series brings in successful founders, investors, and technologists into the classroom. You'll hear from some of the industry's foremost experts. We've had some amazing speakers like the founders of Zenefits, Coinbase, Digital Ocean, Andela, X.ai, Shapeways, and more.

Past Horizonites have come from a variety of schools and backgrounds. Students have hailed from Harvard, Princeton, UPenn/Wharton, Columbia, Northwestern, Brown, Michigan and more. We've welcomed National Math Olympiad winners, USA Computing Olympiad participants, renowned college entrepreneurs, students with perfect SAT/ACT scores, talented designers, photographers, and more as part of our previous cohort.

Application Process/Criteria

  • Currently enrolled in (or recently graduated) an undergrad or graduate university program
  • Submission of resume and standardized test scores on www.joinhorizons.com
  • Series of fit and logic interviews
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

 

Part-Time Research Assistant Position available now!

 

Description of Assignment

 

The task involves hand-collecting data from the web (inputting into a spreadsheet), and printing/saving hard copy back-up. Depending upon the individual’s level of skill, diligence, and patience in working with this sort of thing, it could take 40-80 hours (i.e., 1-2 weeks of full-time effort). 

 

After one initial meeting with Prof. Demers, the work may be done on the individual’s own schedule. The Research Assistant needs to be detail-oriented and conscientious --- data integrity is of paramount importance. 

 

There is a learning opportunity – the setting and overview of the project is interesting.  It’s a realistic perspective on the “on-the-ground” work that is also part of empirical research, so if the student is inclined towards a research degree of any sort, this would enable them to get their feet wet.

 

Please write to Professor Elizabeth Demers for more information:

I’m on the Campus Recruiting team at PEAK6 Investments and we’re looking for smart, ambitious students interested in opportunities to become a Trading Associate at PEAK6. 

PEAK6 is not your typical investment firm. We are a unique, smart, entrepreneurial firm that thinks differently. We’re driven to see solutions others don’t and capitalize on opportunities others miss. We offer incredible opportunities for passionate students to become great traders and we think Economics students at UVA would be a great fit for PEAK6. 

For background, I graduated in May 2016 having double majored in Systems Engineering and Economics. Currently, I am in the Trading Associate program at Peak6. I think Systems Engineers, especially, can thrive here because we take a very data-driven approach to evaluating trades. You need not have any experience in trading (I did not), but we would like to see at least an interest. If you are interested, please look at the job posting linked below. To apply, you would need to fill out both application on our website and on Handshake.

If you’d like to know more about PEAK6, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. The application to apply for our Trading Associate position can be found http://grnh.se/6vei3y">here.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK- RESEARCH ANALYST PROGRAM

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK- RESEARCH ANALYST PROGRAM

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.

Below is a pamphlet (click on the image) with more details about the Research Analyst position.  Applications are being accepted now, on a rolling basis, at www.newyorkfed.org/careers">http://www.newyorkfed.org/careers">www.newyorkfed.org/careers. It is recommended that candidates apply by October 15th.

The McIntire School of Commerce and the http://emclick.imodules.com/wf/click?upn=HzvB9hPuHdcm2AYDwY-2B-2BVBInONN...">Center for Global Commerce at the University of Virginia
present the 2016 Fall Forum:

Europe at the Crossroads

Friday, October 14
8:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Old Cabell Hall Auditorium
University of Virginia

The European Union, conceived from the ashes of a war-torn continent nearly 70 years ago, today faces a collection of threats that might genuinely be termed existential. Record immigration, the evolving reality of Brexit, chronic levels of underemployment, stresses on the Euro, invigorated nationalism, and a range of governance challenges are all testing at least the contours, and perhaps the very existence of the Union. Join us for McIntire's 2016 Fall Forum, "Europe at the Crossroads," as we examine these issues and their implications for investors and industry in a series of dialogues with leading experts. The event is sponsored by the McIntire Center for Global Commerce.      

Forum panelists include:
Ian Carter, President, Global Development, Architecture, Design & Construction, Hilton Worldwide
Thomas M. Finke (McIntire '86), Chairman and CEO, Babson Capital Management
Scott Gray, Vice President, Finance - Europe, AB InBev
Robert G. Harper IV (McIntire '00), Senior Managing Director, The Blackstone Group
Ira Harris, Associate Professor & Director, M.S. in Commerce Program, McIntire School of Commerce
Peter Maillet, Associate Dean for Global Affairs, McIntire School of Commerce
Carol Sawdye (McIntire '85), Global Chief Operating Officer, PwC

MESSAGE FROM AN ECON ALUM

MESSAGE FROM AN ECON ALUM

Dear students,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Melissa Chang, and I graduated from UVa as a Math and Economics major in May 2016. I am now working as an actuary at New York Life Insurance Company and am reaching out to share actuarial internship and full-time opportunities available at our New York City office.

Actuary
An actuary analyzes the financial consequences of risk using mathematics, statistics, and financial theory. I became interested in actuarial work because it marries mathematical problems with a business approach. There is much information to be found on http://beanactuary.com/">beanactuary.com, which has compiled a http://beanactuary.com/what/top/?fa=articles">set of articles featuring the actuarial profession as a desirable career.

New York Life
New York Life is the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States. Ranked as a Fortune 100 company, New York Life has provided its policyholders with financial security and investment opportunities since 1841. As a mutual company, New York Life is owned solely by its policyholders, to whom it pays annual dividends and provides long-term coverage on a wide range of insurance and investment products.
