Job description

The Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is seeking to hire two established research economists with a PhD and post-PhD experience at an academic or policy institution.

Successful candidates will be economists with outstanding research records in the fields of macroeconomics or monetary economics who are eager to contribute to the monetary policy advising process at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Successful candidates will be expected to regularly interact with senior policymakers at the bank on topics related to monetary policy and exceptional verbal and written communication skills are required. A demonstrated ability to translate research to nonacademic audiences is a strong differentiator.

Candidates who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents may be eligible for the information access required for these positions and sponsorship for a work visa, and subsequently for permanent residence, if they sign a declaration of intent to become a U.S. citizen and meet other eligibility requirements.
