FSOC Junior Fellowship

Now Recruiting 2027 Fellows

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 coordinating FSOC’s interagency committees and working groups, analyzing domestic economic and financial developments and financial stability risks, examining financial market data, and helping to develop policy recommendations. Junior Fellows also support meetings of the Council and its working groups and committees, which will include engagement with senior officials at Treasury and FSOC member agencies.

Junior Fellows are hired at the GS-9 level and receive standard Treasury benefits.

Qualifications:

Strong candidates will have recently received – or will soon receive – a bachelor’s degree with relevant coursework in economics, public policy, finance, international relations, or related fields. Please note that due to the structure of the program, preference is given to undergraduates.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. What are the requirements for the writing sample?
    The only requirement for the writing sample is that you are the sole author of the piece. Candidates often submit writing samples between two and five pages, but pieces of writing outside of that range are also acceptable. You are free to submit a writing sample on any topic, though if you have written on subjects related to economic or financial matters, that is generally preferred.
  2. Can my recommender submit their letter directly to FSOCRecruitment@treasury.gov?
    Yes. We have no preference for how you submit your letters of recommendation. You are free to include them with the rest of your application package, or your recommenders can email them to us directly.
  3. Can I submit my unofficial transcript?
    Yes, an unofficial transcript is acceptable for your application. If you are selected, you may be asked to provide an official transcript upon graduation.
