Dear NBER Research Associate or Faculty Research Fellow,

I am writing to you to inform you of a new fellowship that will be
granted
annually beginning this year. The Department of Economics and the
International
Economics Section at Princeton will grant a fellowship to a young
scholar (less
than eight years from Ph.D.) who has interests in international
economics. The
fellow will spend an academic year on leave at Princeton, where he or
she will take part in the research activities of the department, but
have no teaching responsibilities. Our model is the Hoover National
Fellows program or the Olin Fellowships at NBER; namely, a year to get
research done in a supportive environment without the pressures of
teaching, administering and advising.

The announcement of the fellowship is copied below.

I would appreciate if you would forward this message to anyone in your
department who you think might be interested in applying. I also
welcome your
personal nominations. And of course we would welcome applications from
those among you
who meet the professional-age requirements.

Thanks for your attention.
Gene Grossman

        Announcement of IES Fellowship in International Economics
        The Department of Economics and the International Economics
Section
(formerly the International Finance Section) at Princeton University
announce the creation of an annual Fellowship in International
Economics.  This fellowship will be named in honor of our esteemed
colleague and long-time Director of the International Finance Section,
Peter B. Kenen, upon his retirement from the university.  The Fellow
will spend an academic year as a visitor in the Department of Economics
at Princeton, participating in the research activities of the
International Economics Section and conducting his or her own research
on topics in international economics.  He or she will be relieved of all
teaching responsibilities for the year.
        The fellowship will be awarded annually, on a competitive basis. 
Applications are due by January 31 of each year.  Applicants should
submit a curriculum vita, two letters of reference, and a short
statement of 750 words or less describing  the research they would 
undertake while visiting Princeton.  The Fellowship, which is open to
all economists within eight years of their Ph.D. degree, will be
announced on or before February 28 of each year.
        A competitive compensation package will be provided.
        Applications should be addressed to:
