Full Time Quantitative Analyst Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Please note - you must have a master's or PhD by July 2026. The remaining position will be located with either the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (Charlotte, NC).

The Federal Reserve System, with its Supervision and Regulation function, is at the forefront of overseeing the nation's largest and most complex financial institutions. Contributing to Supervision and Regulation's mission to promote a safe, sound, and efficient banking and financial system that supports the growth and stability of the U.S. economy is a unique opportunity that requires highly analytical and quantitative individuals.

We are seeking such individuals to join the Quantitative Fellowship Program (QFP) and perform in-depth and rigorous assessments of the major risks to which banks and other financial entities are exposed. The QFP provides an opportunity to work in an intellectually stimulating and collaborative environment, to engage in meaningful public service, and to interact with senior experts in both the Federal Reserve System and the firms we oversee. The QFP will provide extensive development opportunities to prepare fellows for a successful career in the Federal Reserve System upon completion of the program.

The QFP is a two-year rotational program designed to develop candidates with strong analytical skills into full-time quantitative analysts within the Federal Reserve System. Fellows will have the opportunity to work on-site at multiple Reserve Banks across the Federal Reserve System, including the Board of Governors location in Washington, D.C. They will interact directly with financial institutions, gain valuable cross-firm perspective on modeling challenges, and be involved in helping senior Federal Reserve officials make informed decisions.

The QFP includes a significant training and professional development component. The program provides experience in a variety of quantitative topics such as stress test modeling, analyzing financial institution portfolios, and model risk management and validation. Program participants who successfully complete the two-year rotation will have the potential to be placed in a full-time quantitative role within the Federal Reserve System.
