The ECB’s summer research graduate programme in honour of Ivan Jaccard

You will participate in the summer 2026 research graduate programme, and will be part of one of the Directorate General Research’s two divisions – Monetary Policy Research or Financial Research.

Our Directorate General carries out and coordinates economic research on monetary policy, financial stability and the conduct of banking supervision and regulation by the ECB. We give policy advice to ECB decision-making bodies and foster collaboration on research within the ECB and beyond.

The Monetary Policy Research Division is made up of a team of economists who provide ECB decision-makers with up-to-date research on a wide range of monetary policy topics. The Financial Research Division focuses on research into financial institutions and markets, financial stability, integration, regulation and related areas. In your role as a summer research graduate trainee, you will be assigned to one of the two divisions but will work closely with colleagues in both 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 age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
