NBER’s Post-Doctoral Fellowship on Long-Term Fiscal Policy, supported by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, enables an outstanding early-career economist to visit NBER’s Cambridge headquarters for one year of intensive research on economic aspects of long-term fiscal policy.
Up to two fellowships will be awarded for academic year 2017-2018. Each fellowship will provide a stipend of $75,000, reimbursement for health insurance, a travel and research allowance, and an office at the NBER. Fellows will work at the NBER’s office, and fellowship related activities are expected to represent the fellow’s primary responsibility during the year. By June 15, 2018, fellows must provide the NBER at least one research paper on long-term fiscal policy that is the result of research during the fellowship year.
Applicants should be recent or prospective graduates who anticipate completing their PhD by June, 2017. NBER encourages applications from candidates from under-represented racial and ethnic groups; candidates with disabilities; and/or individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. The NBER may be able to sponsor the fellowship recipient for a J-1 visa under its research scholars program.
