Furman, currently the deputy director of the National Economic Council, will replace Alan Krueger, who plans to return to Princeton as a professor in September.
 
The CEA, a council that influences policy, briefs the president and produces recommendations on economic matters. The nomination of its chair is subject to confirmation by the Senate.
