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

Federal Reserve Board of Governors: Research Assistants

A Day in the Life of a Research Assistant (Click the link at the bottom of the page for the Video)

Each year, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) hires a new cohort of Research Assistants (RAs) who gain real-world experience by working alongside PhD economists to assist with original economic research and provide critical support for policy analysis.
The RA position is a two-year program and most RAs leave the role well-suited to pursue a graduate degree, often in economics, or a number of different careers at the Board or with other organizations. While at the Board, RAs often become involved in a variety of other projects, including collaboration with various government agencies and Federal Reserve System Banks, and participate in efforts to provide economic and financial literacy instruction to local high school students. RAs are encouraged to attend academic research seminars and presentations given by Board economists and visiting scholars.
The Board is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce. We recognize the benefit derived from different perspectives and experiences, and we look carefully at candidates’ records to identify individuals whose perspectives could benefit our work. As such, we especially encourage submissions from groups traditionally less represented in economics.

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

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.

DATA ANALYSTS

The Company

Solovis is a revolutionary new SaaS platform offering a multi-asset class portfolio management and reporting solution for foundations, endowments, pensions, OCIOs, and family offices. Our firm is on a mission to set a new industry standard for performance, exposure, and portfolio analysis. The key to that success is to continue disrupting the industry with transformational technology designed specifically for limited partners. 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.

• 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!)

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)

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.
