Visiting Research Economist at the Research Division

Sveriges Riksbank, located in Stockholm, is the central bank of Sweden. The Riksbank’s main tasks are to maintain price stability and to promote a safe and efficient payment system. Economists at the Riksbank’s Research Division conduct research in areas of importance to the Riksbank. The Division organises academic conferences, hosts an international seminar series, and has an active visitors program. The Riksbank is also hosting the BIS Innovation Hub Nordic Centre in Stockholm.

The Research Division now has a vacancy for a full-time position as a Visiting Research Economist during a period of up to twelve months, with a starting date in September 2022, at the latest.

We particularly welcome applications from senior researchers with at least three years’ experience and a solid publication record in their field, but more junior researchers are also welcome to apply. Suitable candidates will have acquired expertise in monetary economics, macroeconomics, econometrics, financial markets, financial stability, banking, or payments. Of particular interest are topics within empirical finance, payments and digital currencies, and unconventional monetary policy and its impact on financial markets. Junior candidates need to have obtained a PhD in economics, statistics or finance, or be close to doing so.

Successful candidates are expected to produce high-quality research for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and to give support and advice to policy departments as well as the Executive Board. Accordingly, an ability to present complex issues effectively and to communicate research results and analytical findings to policymakers is important.

The working languages at the Research Division are English and Swedish. Proficiency in Swedish is not required. The Riksbank is an equal opportunity employer and offers a competitive compensation package. To enhance the diversity of our team, we particularly encourage applications from female candidates. For further information about the Research Division, see www.riksbank.se/research.

To apply, submit a cover letter, a vita, a sample of recent research papers, and three references (names for senior candidates, letters for junior candidates) through https://econjobmarket.org/positions/8256.

Candidates must submit their application by April 1, 2022. As the reviewing process will be continuous, we encourage early applications.
