The posting

Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

Work on real research. In one summer.

The Fund Internship Program (FIP) offers PhD students in economics an outstanding opportunity to contribute to the work of one of the world's leading international financial institutions.

As a Fund intern, you'll apply your economic research skills to real-world policy questions that matter to the IMF's 191 member countries. You'll work alongside experienced IMF economists, gain hands-on research experience, strengthen your analytical skills, and build a professional network in a uniquely international environment. Many interns present their findings to IMF staff, and some see their work published internally.

If you're passionate about macroeconomics, international policy, and research that can make a global impact, the Fund Internship Program could be your next step.

About the Program

The internship provides practical experience, exposure to the IMF's work, and the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge to real-world policy and operational challenges.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
