The Dan Searle Fellowships in Economics offer the opportunity for newly minted PhDs to spend two years pursuing research as postdoctoral fellows before entering the academic job market. Before applying, applicants must identify an appropriate mentor in a highly ranked economics department and reach a tentative arrangement to spend two years at the prospective host department.
There is more information here. I know a fair number of people who have benefited greatly from this program.
I guess if you have a Ph.D. from Emory you don’t need to apply.
The website needs some work. Most of the stuff surrounding the link you posted doesn’t have to do with the fellowship. It’s all banking gobbley goop and stuff about charitable foundations and free market principles. I don’t really understand, as a result, what this Searle thing is. On the RWJ website for their health fellows, you can actually see the names of the fellows but I gave up after a few minutes for this one.
