Application Deadline: February 1, 2025
The American Economic Association is inviting applications for the Summer Economics Fellows Program. The program allows the fellow to spend a summer in residence at a sponsoring research institution. Fellowships are available to senior graduate students and junior faculty who have not been fellows in the past. During their residency, fellows participate as members of the research community while engaged in a research project of their own choosing. Fellows will be mentored by experienced economists both on scientific issues, and career issues such as negotiating publications, the job market, and advancement strategies.
Compensation is set by each sponsoring institution, normally at a level commensurate with the institution’s usual practices for an economist of equivalent experience. Fellows are responsible for their own expenses. (Sponsors may cover expenses in lieu of a stipend where the amounts involved are roughly equivalent and where the fellow and sponsor both prefer this method.) Dates of residence are determined by agreement between sponsor and fellow, eight to twelve weeks is the norm.
