Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

To promote research on new perspectives on agricultural economics, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with the generous support of the United States Department of Agriculture, is accepting applications for a one-year post-doctoral fellowship to support research by an early-career agricultural economist at the NBER's Cambridge headquarters. Applications from researchers who are just completing their PhDs in agricultural economics, as well as from junior faculty members who may be able to combine this fellowship with an early career leave, are welcome.

The fellowship will provide a 12-month stipend of $100,000, reimbursement for health insurance, a travel and research allowance, IT support, and an office at NBER. The fellow is expected to spend the academic year at the NBER and to participate in program meetings related to their research focus. Fellowship-related activities are expected to represent the fellow’s primary responsibility during the year.

Applicants must have completed their PhD in agricultural economics by June 2026. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.

Applications must be marked "Complete" by the deadline to be considered.
