The ideal candidate should possess expertise in macroeconomics, dynamic and stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE and HANK), and advanced numerical methods (in Python, Matlab, Dynare,…) for policy analysis. A particular interest in the French economy and the ability to read and understand French are an asset, as the team participates in the annual assessment of the French finance law.

- Qualifications: Applicants must hold a PhD in Economics. A strong foundation in macroeconomic modeling, applied econometrics, and programming is essential. Demonstrated expertise in these areas, evidenced by publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals, will be highly valued.
- Responsibilities:

o Engage in teamwork and cooperate with I-MIP economists and affiliated researchers.
o Contribute to the policy evaluation work conducted by I-MIP while also pursuing independent research, benefiting from the stimulating research environment at both PSE and CEPREMAP.
o Actively participate in the activities of the Paris Macro group, including attending and contributing to the PSE Seminar.
