Sloan Foundation, enables two outstanding early-career economists to visit NBER’s Cambridge office for one year of intensive research on economic aspects of household finance. Topics might include the supply of and the demand for financial products, the real effects of financial factors, and financial regulation. Applications from researchers who are just completing their PhDs, as well as from junior faculty members who may be able to combine this fellowship with an early career leave, are welcome.

The fellowship consists of a $75,000 stipend for academic year 2019-2020, reimbursement for health insurance, and includes an office at the NBER’s Cambridge headquarters. The fellow is expected to spend the academic year at the NBER, and to participate in the activities of the NBER’s Household Finance Working Group. Fellowship related activities are expected to represent the fellow’s primary responsibility during the year.

Applicants must have completed their PhD by June, 2019. NBER strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, people with disabilities, and veterans. The NBER may be able to sponsor the fellowship recipient for a J-1 visa under its research scholars program.
