2022 Fund Internship Programme (FIP) at IMF

Job Number: 21-R2125
Location: USA, Washington DC

Details

• Are you looking for an exciting and challenging internship at a prestigious, international financial institution?
• Are you within a year or two of completing your PhD in economics or a related field or completing a Master's degree in economics?
• The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Internship Program (FIP) may be the right opportunity for you!

Description

• Successful applicants will undertake a 10-12 week paid internship between June and October 2022. The precise dates of the internship will be agreed between the intern and IMF supervisor at time of offer.
• While the 2020 and 2021 FIP cohorts completed their internship virtually given the COVID-19 work restrictions at IMF headquarters, we expect that for the 2022 FIP, the internship will be in-person located at the IMF headquarters in Washington DC.
