SEC Fellows

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appoints highly qualified individuals as Fellows to positions requiring specialized, unique, or extensive skills in occupations within the SEC. Fellows typically occupy specialty and/or hard-to-fill positions that require specialized knowledge of financial and capital market formation or regulation, financial market structures, or surveillance.

IPA Mobility Program

The Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Mobility Program at the SEC provides an unparalleled opportunity for professors and professionals to be directly involved in the work of the SEC and to gain insight into the SEC's oversight and regulatory processes. It provides an experience that will greatly enhance subsequent research and teaching activities and is a remarkable way to spend a sabbatical year or a leave of absence.
