This team helps Research department economists with their work, including academic papers and policy memos to brief the Bank's president on the state of the economy. Read the brochure to learn more about the Richmond Fed's Research Associate program.

(Please note that the Regional & Community Analysis group in the Research department and the Quantitative Supervision and Research group in the Supervision Regulation and Credit department also hire research assistants to perform similar work, but with an exclusive focus on regional and community analysis and banking, respectively. The SRC positions are located in Baltimore and Charlotte, while the Research Department positions are located in Richmond.)
