Ph.D. in Economics Initial Placements

Faculty members actively assist students in obtaining employment. During the fall of the year that a candidate enters the job market, the DGS and the student’s advisor provide additional guidelines about the application process: identifying appropriate job openings, finalizing the job market paper, requesting recommendation letters, and the application process.  In addition, students typically present their job market paper to faculty and students in the department, and participate in mock interviews with faculty members.
