Previous Year JMCs Tips & Tricks Session

By partaking in this year's Job Market program, you get to meet last year's job market candidates who have been placed in various positions in the USA. Previous candidates will share tips and tricks with current candidates on securing prestigious academic positions. Past year candidates secured positions in organizations such as IMF, NYU, Princeton, Baylor University, and Dickinson College. Take a look at the event flier to the right.

JMC Symposium

The Job Market Symposium is a yearly event designed to support PhD candidates preparing to enter this year's Economics Job Market.

The event serves two main purposes: First, it offers candidates a vital platform for presenting their research and obtaining constructive feedback from both our advisory committee and other faculty members. Second, it allows faculty to become acquainted with new and impactful research conducted by African job market candidates. You can see last year's event flier to the left.

Mock Interviews

Candidates will have the chance to do 1-2 mock interviews with a faculty member in a close field.
