The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is accepting applications for a new Fellowship Program that is aimed at furthering policy-relevant research of interest to the international financial community.
The new Fellowship program spanned over one year is aimed at attracting promising economists with a substantial research record in leading journals and a strong interest in the policy-relevant work conducted at the IMF.
The IMF provides a unique environment for researchers interested in working on macroeconomic and financial issues given its close monitoring of economic developments around the world, its access to information, and the presence of a large, knowledgeable, professional staff with whom IMF Fellows will interact. In return, the IMF has a lot to learn from academic research on these issues.
IMF Fellows will spend the year working on mutually agreed topics that are relevant to the work of the IMF. While hosted by the Research Department, Fellows will also be expected to interact with staff in other departments of the IMF. The work produced over the year can be disseminated through IMF Working Papers and other channels.
The program, which will start in September 2012, offers up to four fellowships. Salary and other benefits are competitive, and include allowances for relocation and conference travel.
Last date for submission of application is December 1, 2011
