The HKIMR accepts applications for Doctoral Internship on an ongoing and highly competitive basis. The length of the visits is typically three months. Applicants are invited to submit proposals consistent with the Institute's overall objective of promoting research that is of strategic importance to Hong Kong and the regional economies. We encourage applicants to submit research proposals on the following areas:
1. Monetary and financial stability in Hong Kong and Mainland China;
2. Capital account liberalization in Mainland China and its implications for Hong Kong;
3. Monetary and financial co-operation in Asia;
4. Renminbi offshore market development in Hong Kong.
Applicants should be enrolled in a PhD program in economics, finance, or a related field. Preference will be given to candidates who are in the final stages of writing their PhD dissertation and who are conducting research on issues of importance for the Asian region.
If you are interested and meet the specific requirements, please email a proposal of 3-5 pages together with your curriculum vita and a letter of recommendation from a person familiar with your research to Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (
[email protected]). The HKIMR offers travel and accommodation allowances (for interns from overseas) and a daily stipend.
The application deadline is 15 April of each calendar year. The HKIMR takes a small number of interns in each year.
Since the HKIMR may request clarifications of the proposed projects, applicants need to apply well in advance of their desired dates of visit.
