Traineeships in the Secretariat of the European Systemic Risk Board

The ESRB Secretariat is part of the European Central Bank (ECB). The Secretariat provides analytical, statistical, logistical and administrative support to the ESRB.

As a trainee, you will join one of three teams focusing on (i) financial sector risk assessment, (ii) banks and (iii) non-bank financial intermediaries. These teams cooperate closely in analytical work to identify and assess systemic risks in the EU financial sector as well as on policies to address them, providing inputs to ESRB working groups and substructures. The content of your traineeship will depend on which team you join and your skill set.

As a trainee you will:

support the analytical and policy work of the ESRB Secretariat;
analyse developments in the EU financial system, using various datasets and sources of information;
contribute to the identification and analysis of financial stability risks related to the banking sector, non-bank financial intermediaries, financial market infrastructure and markets;
provide input into the development and assessment of macroprudential policies in the EU;
participate in and contribute to the work of ESRB substructures, including expert groups and task forces.
