While at the Fed, Melick spent one year on assignment at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.

He took a leave from Kenyon for the 2001-2002 academic year to serve for one year as a senior international economist at the President's Council of Economic Advisers in Washington. From 2002-2012 he was affiliated with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland as a research associate.
