Traineeship at European Central Bank

You will be part of the External Developments Division and the International Policy Analysis Division in the Directorate General International and European Relations.

The Divisions prepare studies, briefings and reports in their areas of competence. We are currently working on enhancing ECB-Global, a semi-structural international macroeconomic model which has become a workhorse for simulating international spillovers at the ECB. In your role as trainee, you will be part of a cross-divisional team of 5 members of staff who develop our modelling infrastructure further and apply it in simulations. You will work closely with key ECB experts who are responsible for these workstreams.

As a trainee you will:

engage and collaborate with experienced quantitative economists on the relevant opportunities and challenges ahead;
develop additional key quantitative tools as well as the modelling infrastructure of the Divisions;
contribute to scenario analysis and simulations regarding the international environment;
participate in discussions about the international environment and the use of macroeconomic models to respond to key policy questions;
present key findings to the relevant stakeholders within the ECB.
