About the role

NERA is hiring Summer Interns for multiple offices, including Chicago, with an hourly rate of $40. The internship runs from early June to mid-August and requires a minimum of 40 hours per week. Ideal candidates hold a BA/BS (or Masters) expected to graduate by Summer 2028 and show strong analytical and programming capabilities. Successful interns will gain exposure to quantitative modeling, econometric analysis, and industry research, supporting expert teams across economics and finance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
