Subject: Research Assistant Positions at the Chicago Fed
Dear Colleague:
We at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago are again recruiting research assistants. We are writing you to see if you have a student whom you would particularly recommend to us.
The ideal candidate is someone who is interested in going to graduate school in two to three years and for whom you would recommend admission to a top 5 (or possibly 10) graduate program. We require our research assistants to be well prepared in mathematics and econometrics. Research experience is also helpful but not required.
The research conducted at the Chicago Fed spans all areas of applied macroeconomics and microeconomics, so our research assistants' assignments are themselves varied. Previous research assistant assignments have included
a.. Programming nonparametric estimators in C for parallel computations on a Beowulf cluster. (Used by Jeff Campbell)
In addition, research assistants perform quantitative analysis before Federal Open Market Committee meetings and support ongoing Fed responsibilities.
If you have any students for whom you think the Chicago Fed would be a good match, please send a short e-mail with their names to jcampbell@frbchi.org and encourage them to apply. They can apply online at the Chicago Fed web site, www.chicagofed.org (follow link to career services, and search for research positions). The direct link to the job description and on-line application is: http://careers.peopleclick.com/jobposts/Client40_FRBChicago/BU1/External/234-274.htm
