The Deutsche Bundesbank is one of the biggest central banks in the world. Our core business areas comprise monetary policy, banking supervision, financial and monetary systems, cash management and payment systems.

We are looking for an Economist (m/f) to join our Research Centre at Central Office in Frankfurt am Main.

Its employees conduct high-quality research on economic topics and in the areas of banking supervision, financial stability and risk modelling. You can find more information on the Research Centre at http://www.bundesbank.de

JOB DESCRIPTION: You will primarily undertake your own research in the area of monetary economics and, through this work, will assist in the formation of opinion on policy within the Bundesbank. Through your participation in conferences and through the publication of your research findings, you will represent the Bundesbank publicly and promote the exchange of ideas with external academics.

We would like to increase the proportion of women at the Bundesbank and would therefore welcome applications from qualified women. Part-time work is generally possible. Given equivalent qualifications, priority will be given to disabled applicants.
