The Cowles Foundation regularly offers postdoctoral fellowships to promising young
scholars in economics and related fields. Fellowships provide an opportunity for new
Ph.D.s to focus on developing a strong research program in a stimulating collegial
environment prior to taking on the full responsibilities of a ladder or tenure track
faculty position.Postdoctoral Fellows spend one to three years in residence at the
Cowles Foundation, conduct research, and participate in research seminars and conferences
alongside the faculty of the Cowles Foundation and the Yale Economics Department.
Consideration is highly selective and limited to candidates of both exceptional scholarly
promise and strong orientation toward rigorous mathematical approaches to economics.
Typically the research interests of a postdoctoral fellow will fall into one of the four
major research program areas of
Cowles: Economic Theory, Econometrics, Macroeconomics, and Structural Microeconomics.
Cowles Fellowships are prestigious appointments intended for outstanding young scholars
with strong research programs. Conditions are competitive with tenure track assistant
professorships, and are designed to be flexible and suit individual needs and
arrangements. The positions are predominantly research appointments with the possibility
of some area-specific teaching.
