Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Office of the Investor Advocate (OIAD) at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is looking to fill one or more full and part-time fellowship positions to help with its recently launched POSITIER investor testing and household finance research initiative. POSITIER (Policy Oriented Stakeholder and Investor Testing for Innovative and Effective Regulation) is an exciting new research initiative designed to generate academic research and provide tools and evidence to improve policymaking at the SEC.

Through POSITIER, OIAD has a diverse and powerful arsenal of research tools to flexibly deploy at specific research problems. OIAD principally conducts experiments (field, lab, survey), measurement-focused surveys, research projects using existing administrative and survey datasets, and qualitative research on a broad range of household finance issues. The focus is on high-quality academic and policy research to inform policymaking.

We are currently recruiting junior and senior economists for full-time or part-time fellows. Those with an interest in household finance, behavioral economics, law and economics, labor, experiments and survey methodology are strongly encouraged to apply. Part-time fellows would spend a number of days throughout the year at the SEC’s headquarters. We have some degree of flexibility to design the fellowships in accordance with schedule and availability, although flexible arrangements are more relevant for senior-level candidates. The fellowship provides an excellent opportunity to continue to conduct your research, have a policy impact, and partner on the design and analysis of innovative new household finance data.

Deadlines:
For individuals interested in speaking with OIAD representatives at the ASSA meetings, please send materials by December 7th, 2018.
For individuals wishing to start during Spring 2019, applicants are encouraged to apply by December 15, 2018.
For individuals wishing to start in Summer 2019 or the 2019-2020 Academic year, we recommend applying no later than February 1, 2019.
