What to Expect When You Apply
Our hiring process is designed to find talented individuals who are motivated by public service and interested in contributing to the work of the Federal Reserve System.
The Boston Fed is an equal opportunity employer, and encourages applicants from every ethnicity, color, religion, gender, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, and sexual orientation.
As a condition of employment, Boston Fed employees must comply with ethics rules that generally prohibit employees, their spouses, and their minor children from acquiring financial interests – such as stocks or bonds – from banks, savings associations, and systemically important financial institutions or their affiliates, such as bank holding companies or savings and loan holding companies. If you, your spouse, or your minor child own such assets and would be unwilling or unable to divest them if you were to accept a job offer, you should raise this issue with our recruitment team.
