This year's Econ job market has, by all accounts, been brutal. If you're still not sure what you're doing next year, applying for external funding to continue your work is a great way to buy yourself time & options. It's a way to "build your own post-doc." Check out AV's open RFPs!

This fellowship supports scholars from a variety of disciplines, including junior faculty (non-tenured), postdocs, and newly graduated PhD researchers interested in topics including disability and retirement research & issues related to understudied populations and low-net-wealth households.
