The HKIMR accepts applications for Doctoral Internship on an ongoing and highly competitive basis. The lengths of the visits typically range from two to six 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.

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.

The HKIMR offers travel and accommodation allowances and a daily stipend. 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 The Director, Hong Kong Institute for Monetary Research (hkimr@hkma.gov.hk). The Council of Advisors reviews proposals on a quarterly basis. Since the Council frequently requests clarifications of the proposed projects, applicants need to apply well in advance of their desired dates of visit.
