The Empire Center is looking for talented individuals for our Student Fellow role. Working as a student fellow at the Empire Center provides a unique work experience at a leading state-based think tank. The Empire Center is dedicated to making New York a better place to live and work by promoting public policy reforms grounded in free-market principles, personal responsibility, and the ideals of effective and accountable government. Through research papers, policy briefings, commentaries and conferences, the think tank seeks to educate and inform New York State policymakers, news media and the general public. The Empire Center’s student fellows are paired with Empire Center researchers whose focuses include taxes, government transparency, education, energy and healthcare. Student fellows will learn analysis skills and apply them on important projects with the goal of being named author on an Empire Center report or other publication sharing their findings.

This role is full-time and may be performed in person at our Albany, NY office or remotely.
