Are you looking for an exciting and challenging internship at a prestigious, international financial institution?
Are you within a year or two of completing your Ph.D. in economics or a related field or completing a Master’s degree in economics?
The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Internship Program (FIP) may be the right opportunity for you!
Description
Successful applicants will undertake a 10-12 week paid internship between June and October 2022. The precise dates of the internship will be agreed between the intern and IMF supervisor at the time of offer. While the 2020 and 2021 FIP cohorts completed their internship virtually given the COVID-19 work restrictions at IMF headquarters, we expect that for the 2022 FIP, the internship will be in-person located at the IMF headquarters in Washington DC.
Under the guidance of an experienced IMF colleague, you will conduct research and analysis on a topic determined by the Fund. Your work may culminate in a research paper and maybe published internally.
