Department of Economics: Summer RA Program
Read this letter from Department Chair, Matthew Jackson about The Economics Summer Research Assistant Program for 2022. It runs for a ten-week period from Monday, June 20 through Friday, August 26, 2022. Participants work directly with faculty on their ongoing research, receiving substantive supervision and training by the professor, in line with the goal of enriching the student learning experience and preparing students to do their own research.
Eligibility
Participants must be current undergraduates at Stanford. Preference will be given to students who have declared Economics as their major and are completing their junior year, although sophomores with exceptionally strong academic records are also welcome to apply. Applicants should be on track to meet the Economics Department’s GPA threshold requirements for Honors (that is, achieving a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the courses required of an Economics major).
Expectations
Each RA’s forty-hour workweek will be devoted to research work under the direction of the faculty sponsor, to organized Program activities, and (if the supervisor approves) to the exploration of independent research topics.
Stipend
Read this letter (bottom of page 1) to see the stipend details.
How To Apply
