Herb Scarf Summer Research Opportunities Application Form

A description of the Herb Scarf Summer Research Opportunities in Economics (Scarf RA) program and a list of current and previous Scarf RA projects is here.

To apply for a project, students should submit an application form below along with an uploaded curriculum vita (or resume) and a brief cover letter explaining why you are interested in the project. The respective professor(s) will receive an email of your application, curriculum vita, and cover letter.  

Note: Students may apply to at most four projects (one application per project). Any student who has not previously participated in the program may apply, but students who have completed more of the required coursework in economics (particularly the core courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics) are more likely to possess the quantitative skills that professors find useful in conducting research. Scarf RA positions are not available to seniors (Class of 2024) or students participating in the Yale Visiting International Students Program (Y-VISP).

The application form is now closed.
