International Monetary Fund (IMF) 2022 Fund Internship Program for International Students

The Fund Internship Program (FIP) provides an opportunity for Doctoral students to gain an insider experience of the integrated, member country focused, mandate and work of the IMF. 

Successful applicants will undertake a 10-12 week paid internship between June and October 2022. The precise dates of the internship will be agreed between the intern and IMF supervisor at time of offer. While the 2020 and 2021 FIP cohorts completed their internship virtually given the COVID-19 work restrictions at IMF headquarters, we expect that for the 2022 FIP, the internship will be in-person located at the IMF headquarters in Washington DC.
