The Dan Searle Fellowships in Economics offer the opportunity for newly minted PhDs to spend two years pursuing research as postdoctoral fellows before entering the academic job market. Before applying, applicants must identify an appropriate mentor in a highly ranked economics department and reach a tentative arrangement to spend two years at the prospective host department. Current post-docs are spending their fellowships at the Harvard University Department of Economics, Columbia Business School, the Northwestern University Department of Economics, and the Texas A&M Department of Agricultural Economics.

Criteria for selection include potential to contribute to intellectual diversity in the academy, dedication to scholarship and teaching, very strong academic qualifications, a demonstrated interest in policy-relevant research, and the promise of a distinguished academic career.

Fellowship awards include an annual stipend of $75,000, enrollment in the host university's health insurance, and a modest sum for the host university's expenses.
