It is looking for new and experienced Ph.D. economists (or with equivalent experience) with research and policy interests in the following areas:

• Development of macro-econometric models and associated methodologies (multivariate econometrics, data science and machine learning models in particular) to be used for macro-economic policy analysis and for supporting macro-economic projections and forecasting.

Economists are expected to produce high-level academic and policy-oriented research. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential. A Ph.D. or equivalent experience are not required but would be an asset. Senior applicants should have a proven publication track record.

The JRC is located in 5 Member States (Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain). Further information is available at https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/ .
