Pre-Doctoral Fellows Program
The Tobin Center / Economics Pre-Doctoral Fellows Program at Yale University supports policy-relevant economics research by providing a high-quality education and training experience for individuals with bachelor’s or master’s degrees who are considering pursuing a Ph.D. in economics or a closely related discipline.
The Tobin Center / Economics Pre-Doctoral Fellows Program is a vibrant and diverse community of approximately 70 scholars from around the world. Pre-Doctoral Fellows work for one to two years as full-time research trainees, supervised by one or more faculty mentors. Fellows also have the opportunity to engage in additional education and professional development activities, including taking for credit or auditing one course per semester, participating in a weekly professional development seminar, and attending department research seminars. All positions are based on campus, and most fellows work in common workspaces to foster camaraderie and peer learning.
