Your team
You will be part of either the Financial Research Division or the senior
management team in the Directorate General Research. Our team, which
comprises around 25 economists conducting policy-relevant research on
topics related to financial and monetary economics. We cover topical
issues such as macro-financial linkages, the interaction between
monetary and financial stability policies, financial innovations like
fintech and digital currencies, and the financial implications of
climate change. We publish articles in leading academic journals and the
ECB’s own publications, such as its Working Paper Series and its
Research Bulletin, and prepare policy notes and reports for internal and
external use.
In your role as a trainee Student Research Assistant, you will support
our economists in their research projects. Depending on your specific
skill set and preferences, your tasks will typically consist of
compiling and analysing cross-sectional, time series and panel datasets
or developing, solving and estimating macro-financial dynamic stochastic
general equilibrium (DSGE) models.
The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity
of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply irrespective of
age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious
beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
Your role
As a trainee Student Research Assistant, you will support research
projects by:
* constructing and maintaining monetary, financial and economic
databases;
* presenting data in conjunction with basic economic and statistical
analyses;
* developing mathematical, statistical and econometric procedures for
use in research projects;
* supporting and maintaining software tools and hardware installations.
Depending on your areas of expertise, your work will also require you to
conduct microeconometric analyses (primarily in Stata), time series
analyses (primarily in MATLAB), or to solve, calibrate and simulate DSGE
models with banking and financial frictions (using MATLAB and Dynare).
The traineeship offers you an excellent opportunity to work closely with
our economists and have first-hand exposure to world-class research. You
will be able to develop your analytical skills and gain insight into the
ECB’s research activities and policymaking processes. You will also
engage with new ideas and perspectives that will help you in your future
career or graduate studies. You will be part of a multicultural team
that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the
lives of European citizens.
