Paid Economic Internship for Undergraduates and graduates at Frontier Economics in France

Frontier Economics is offering a full-time internship opportunity in Paris. We aim to make your time with us as meaningful and interesting as possible. Our typical internships, in all offices, run for 8 to 12 weeks, but we also offer longer internships from 6 to 12 months, typically to those who have already obtained their undergraduate or postgraduate degree. We are currently looking for an internship in our Paris office for a 6 month period with a potential to work permanently after the internship.  

On the first day of your internship, you will have an induction covering different areas of Frontier and you will receive some basic training on various software packages and programmes that we use. You will also meet your mentor, who has the responsibility for giving you advice, day-to-day guidance and feedback on your performance. You will discuss with your mentor what practices you will work in and what projects you are initially working on. 

You will also have a “buddy” – an Analyst who is on hand to answer any general queries you have about Frontier. During your internship you will find yourself working in project teams with Analysts, Consultants and Directors.

You will receive guidance, feedback and support throughout your internship, and we welcome your feedback on us too. After your internship, you can apply to become an Analyst.
