For more than 50 years, CCIA has promoted open markets, open systems, and open networks. CCIA believes that open, competitive markets and original, independent, and free speech fosters innovation. 

The CCIA Research Center, which produces industry-leading research studies and data analyses on topics related to the connected economy, is seeking Research Fellows with a background in economics, statistics, and/or data science for the Spring 2026 semester. 

Duties will include conducting research and analysis to support Research Center outputs under the supervision of the Chief Economist/Director of the Research Center. 

Applicants possessing a Bachelor's Degree in a related field prior to the beginning of their term are preferred.  

The Spring 2026 Research Fellow term will run from mid-January through mid-May, with allowances for Spring break, and seeks a time commitment of 15 hours/week. CCIA operates in a hybrid work environment. Fellows will be required to be on site at least one day per week.

As CCIA is not able to assist with relocation, preference will be given to candidates currently residing in the greater Washington, DC area.
