About The Office of Research (OR):

The Office of Research (OR) in the Research, Markets, and Regulations Division (RMR) is realizing the CFPB’s mission by bringing an empirical, data-driven approach to the analysis of consumer financial markets. OR provides the main analytics to understand consumer behavior and support the Bureau’s actions in policy-making, supervision, and enforcement.

Summer Internship Program

The Pathways Internship Program is a Summer 2021 opportunity for current (students are eligible if they are enrolled as students before, during, and after Summer 2021) undergraduate and graduate students. Interns work directly with a seasoned member of our team on policy and research projects and are assigned to one project which they are expected to complete during the twelve-week program. Interns will be expected to work independently but will be provided necessary on-the-job training and mentorship to support them in their work. Strong Intern candidates may be considered for possible future Research Assistant opportunities within the Office of Research.
