The FSOC Junior Fellowship is a selective, fixed two-year program for new college graduates to work at the Office of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to monitor and maintain United States financial stability. Junior Fellows have exposure to multiple policy issues and opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills. They typically perform a variety of tasks that include analyzing domestic economic and financial developments and financial stability risks, examining financial market data, and developing policy recommendations. Junior Fellows also support meetings of the Council and its various committees, which will include engagement with senior officials at Treasury and the various FSOC member agencies.
Junior Fellows are usually hired at the GS-9 level and receive standard Treasury benefits.
