Survey Center Intern

Program

The Atlanta Fed's Economic Survey Research Center serves as a vital tool in collecting economic data from the Sixth District. The center employs interns each fall, spring, and summer where they help to build the pool of survey participants in the Center's Survey of Business Uncertainty, CFO Survey, and Business Inflation Expectations Survey. Interns in the fall and spring semester work 10-to-15-hours per week and have the option to complete the internship either hybrid or fully remote. Interns in the summer work up to 30 hours per week and are encouraged to complete the internship in a hybrid format in our Atlanta office.

Applicants must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at an accredited university and returning to continue studies after the internship. Applicants are selected based on scholastic achievement, recommendations, completed coursework in relevant areas of study, and, in some cases, grade point average. All applicants must provide a résumé, transcript, and any other documents requested through the application.
