You can find more information on the Research Centre at http://www.bundesbank.de/research

JOB DESCRIPTION: Economists are expected to conduct high-quality research that will be published in top-level international scientific journals and will also contribute to policy design within the Bundesbank. Through their research and participation in conferences, economists will represent the Bundesbank publicly and promote an exchange of ideas with academics and external policy makers.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS:
- Accredited Master's degree or equivalent qualification with above average results
- PhD or PhD nearing completion in Economics, Finance or Econometrics

- Ability to work both independently and as part of an international team
- Solid proficiency of the English language; working knowledge of German would be an advantage
