Research Economist

The Inter-American Development Bank, the largest source of financing for development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), wishes to interview PhD-level economists to work in the Research Department (RES) or other areas.

IDB economists publish regularly in refereed academic journals and pursue policy-oriented analytical work that informs the Bank regarding development challenges and appropriate policy responses and improves the effectiveness and relevance of the Bank´s operations in its member countries.

We are considering new PhD candidates as well as those that have recently graduated. Successful candidates would possess: (1) strong technical skills; (2) a record of -- or good prospects for -- high-quality, original research in peer-reviewed journals; and (3) the ability to communicate technical knowledge and expertise to a wide range of potential audiences. Preference will be given to candidates that combine a strong academic profile with an interest in policy and that have worked on topics relevant to development in LAC.

Areas of Interest: This call is open to all areas but we particularly seek research economists specializing in: Environmental Economics, Industrial Organization, Public Finance and International Macroeconomics.

Members of the selection panel will conduct interviews during the 2014 Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, January 3-5, 2014.

The position is subject to budget approval.

Opening Date: December 1 - Closing Date: December 16.
