2020 Job Market Placements

The Cornell Economics Community is proud to support and promote the work of our students who are seeking employment following the completion of their doctoral program.  We are happy to announce the 2020 job market placements.

The graduate program of study is designed to train for research careers as faculty in public policy programs, public health programs, and other academic programs, and for non-academic research careers in think tanks, private consulting, government, or the not-for-profit sector. This list is comprised of students who have accepted job offers and are enrolled in the Ph.D. program in the Department of Economics (ECON).
