Pre-doctoral opportunities at the University of Chicago

Posted on 10/10/23

The Becker Friedman Institute (BFI) PREP program has opened applications for full-time predoctoral research roles beginning Summer 2024. These roles, working closely with faculty supervisors and normally lasting two years, serve as a bridge between college and graduate school for students interested in empirical economics, with program alumni consistently placing in top PhD programs. The program also offers unique research and professional training opportunities at the University of Chicago. Please share the positions open at both BFI and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago with students in your networks. Additionally, we will host an information session on October 9 at 8:30 a.m. Central to answer questions about the application process. Please register to attend.

Interested students can also sign up to receive updates directly as positions open.
