The Institute for Macroeconomic and International Policies (I-MIP) is a research center located in Paris, hosted by the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and supported by both PSE and the Center for Economic Research and Applications (CEPREMAP). I-MIP focuses on analyzing and quantitatively assessing public policies using state-of-the-art economic methodologies, with a particular emphasis on numerical techniques.

I-MIP invites applications for the position of policy-oriented macroeconomist, to be filled through a competitive selection process. The successful candidate should demonstrate expertise in macroeconomics, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE and HANK), and advanced computational methods for quantitative policy analysis, including Python, MATLAB, and Dynare. A strong interest in policy issues related to the French economy is essential. The ability to read and work with documents in French would be a valuable asset, particularly for contributing to the annual assessment of France’s Finance Act.

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 will be highly valued.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with other I-MIP researchers on policy evaluation projects and contribute to the enhancement and maintenance of I-MIP's quantitative tools, in particular the HANK models of the French economy.
• Engage in teamwork and cooperate with I-MIP economists and affiliated researchers.
• 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.
• Actively participate in the activities of the Paris Macro group, including attending and contributing to the PSE Seminar.

Position:

• This is a permanent (open-ended) position. Compensation will be negotiated based on seniority and prior experience.
• The expected start date is September 1, 2026.
• This position provides a unique opportunity to work on impactful policy-oriented projects while fostering personal research interests in a stimulating academic setting.
