Purpose of Job:

The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is seeking to recruit a Research Economist. Applications are welcome from candidates at all career stages, including PhD candidates, post-docs, and current tenure-track or tenured faculty members. OCE conducts policy-relevant research on economic development and structural transformation in EBRD's countries of operation, as well as other low- and middle-income countries.

The Research Economist will conduct and publish high-quality, policy-relevant economic research and provide intellectual leadership within their area of expertise to EBRD management and other departments. Responsibilities also include contributing to the preparation of flagship EBRD publications, such as the annual Transition Report, and potentially managing large-scale firm or household surveys.

The successful candidate will manage an independent research agenda, present their work at relevant conferences, publish in reputable academic journals, and engage with academia. In addition, the Research Economist will mentor analysts and interns, while reporting directly to the Director of Research.

It also leads the design and implementation of large-scale surveys (such as the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey, BEEPS; the Banking Environment and Performance Survey, BEPS; and the Life in Transition Survey, LiTS); rigorous impact studies; and the production of major external publications, including the annual Transition Report.

Accountabilities & Responsibilities:

  • Undertake, present, and publish high-quality academic research.
  • Provide intellectual leadership both inside and outside the Bank on relevant research issues, including through the organisation of and attendance at seminars, lectures, and conferences.
  • Provide guidance and leadership to analysts and interns as needed.
  • Establish and maintain strong links with outside academics and policy makers.
  • Contribute to, and if necessary, take the main responsibility, for the generation of key research outputs, such as chapters in the Transition Report.

  • Proven ability to independently undertake empirical analysis. In-depth experience with Stata, R, Python or similar programs or programming languages.
  • An ability to relate research to policy issues and operational issues pertinent to the Bank.
