  • The Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution seeks a summer research intern.  The mission of the Hutchins Center is to improve the quality and efficacy of fiscal and monetary policies and public understanding of them. It provides independent, non-partisan analysis and draws on the expertise of Brookings Institution scholars and of experts in government, academia, think tanks and business, as well as the guidance of its Advisory Council. By commissioning research, convening private and public events and harnessing the power of the Internet, it seeks to generate new thinking, promote constructive criticism and provide a forum for reasoned debate.
    The intern will gain exposure to a broad set of economic policy topics while developing their analytical thinking and writing skills. Applicants should expect a range of responsibilities, broadly defined under the following categories:

    General research and writing: Interns will assist with short-term research and other projects. Examples include quantitative and qualitative research for policy memos, blog posts, or other work products. 
    In addition, interns might be expected to analyze data and create graphs for papers, policy memos, presentations, and other items. Interns would help research potential topics and authors for future center/project work.

    Long-term research: Working with the center/project team, interns would help research potential topics and authors for future work.

    Event Staffing: Interns may help prepare materials for events and work at various aspects of the event, such as registration.

    Administrative: The applicant should be prepared to help with general office support, assist with special projects, and perform other duties as assigned.

    This full-time internship will be in-person in Washington, D.C., from 6/2/25 to 8/22/25.  The position itself is hybrid, with the intern working from the Hutchins Center Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.  Applicants should be current undergraduates pursuing a degree in economics, statistics, mathematics, or a related field.  They should have strong writing and analytical skills.  They must have proficiency in Excel, and would ideally have proficiency in another statistical software, like STATA. 
    If you are interested, please email Stephen Lamb (stephen.lamb@chicagobooth.edu) your resume, a one-page cover letter, a recent transcript (unofficial copy is fine), and the names and emails of two academic references by 5:00 p.m. CT on Wednesday, March 19.
