Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Brookings Institution invites applications for the Okun-Model Early-Career Fellowship in Economic Studies for the academic year 2016-2017. The anticipated start date for this position is Fall 2016 for a term of 12 months.

The Fellowship is designed to offer outstanding early-career economists the opportunity to pursue their own independent research on applied and policy issues in economics over the course of a year at Brookings. Fellows will be in an excellent position to draw on the resources of scholars at Brookings as well as the extended policy community in Washington, DC. Fellows will also be able to participate in workshops and conferences at Brookings.

The Brookings Institution’s Economic Studies program analyzes current and emerging economic policy issues facing the United States and the world, focusing on job creation, regulation, fiscal and monetary policy, and promoting broadly-shared economic growth. Our research aims to increase understanding of how the economy works and what can be done to make it work better. Economic Studies’ scholars influence key economic policies by conducting rigorous and relevant research and then disseminating their findings to the policy community and to the broader public.
