POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS PROGRAM
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. Successful
candidates typically of similar achievement and promise as a new Assistant Professor
appointments in the Department of 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.
