Our Unique Work: 

The PhD Intern program allows interns to participate as members of the research community while engaged in a research project of their own choosing.

They are expected to work independently and will be mentored by experienced economists both on scientific issues, and career issues such as negotiating 

publications, the job market, and advancement strategies.

They are encouraged to attend seminars and present at least one research seminar at the during their time at the Bank.

The PhD interns are typically either postdocs or graduate students at the dissertation stage.
