Traineeship in international macro modelling 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. To support this work, ECB-Global was developed, a semi-structural international macroeconomic model which has become central to simulations of international spillovers in the Directorate General. As a trainee, you will be part of the cross-divisional team of staff who developed the model and you will be involved in simulation exercises, model maintenance and potentially further development of the model. You will work closely with key ECB experts who are responsible for these areas.

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 your gender, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or other characteristics.

Your Role
As a trainee you will:
engage and collaborate with experienced quantitative economists;
develop additional key quantitative tools and 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.

The position offers you excellent opportunities to interact with leading experts in the field, develop core macroeconomic modelling tools used in international simulation analysis, and become acquainted with practical policy work in an international organisation. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
