Grant  The trainee grant is €1,170 per month plus an accommodation allowance (see further information section)

Working time  Full time

Place of work  Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Closing date  12.01.2026

 

Your team

 

You will be part of either the Monetary Policy Research Division or the senior management team in the Directorate General Research. The Division comprises about 40 economists and ten Student Research Assistant Trainees.
We carry out high-quality research and research-based policy analysis on cutting-edge issues related to monetary policy transmission and strategy; global and euro area macroeconomic dynamics and micro-foundations; and macro-financial linkages. Our economists regularly publish in leading academic journals, coordinate research networks and prepare policy notes and presentations for the Executive Board and Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB).
In your role as Student Research Assistant Trainee, you will be part of a team that works with a wide range of datasets and applies state-of-the-art modelling and data visualisation techniques. This includes conducting micro-econometric analysis on granular data as well as developing macroeconomic models based on aggregate data, capturing key macro-financial linkages.
Throughout your traineeship you will have the opportunity to contribute to different projects and work closely with researchers from different areas of expertise.
In addition, we are looking for several Student Research Assistant Trainees to support the Research Task Force on Artificial Intelligence (AI RTF). The mandate of the task force is to coordinate research across the ECB into the effects of AI on the macro-financial environment, and the implications for monetary policy and financial stability.

Our research projects and research-based policy analysis use at least one of the following tools:

  • Quantitative macroeconomic models
Developing and solving general equilibrium models, including Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian (HANK) models, to advance our understanding of optimal monetary policy, the transmission of standard and non-standard monetary policy; the interactions between monetary, fiscal and macroprudential policies; macro-financial linkages; and distributional effects.
  • Macro-econometric models
Developing existing tools, such as structural vector autoregressions, unobserved components models and non-linear time-series models, to advance our understanding of macroeconomic dynamics, including the impact of monetary policy and financial shocks as well as inflation dynamics and the global financial cycle.
  • Micro panel data and cross-sectional data
Analysing granular-level data (e.g. product-level price data, firm balance sheet data, supervisory banking data and new survey data, and household survey data) to gain insights into (i) the transmission of monetary policy via firms and banks, as well as via households’ expectations; (ii) the distributional effects of monetary and macroprudential policies; and (iii) the effects of digitalisation on households and firms.
The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.

 

Your role

As a Student Research Assistant Trainee you will:
  • work with datasets, including macroeconomic data and granular firm-, bank- and household-level data;
  • work with macroeconomic models, including developing and solving New-Keynesian models, HANK models and models with financial frictions;
  • work with macro-econometric models, including developing and estimating structural vector autoregression models and non-linear time-series models;
  • work closely with the Division’s economists and research analysts, supporting the team in daily tasks and analytical projects;
  • contribute to the Division’s research-based policy advice by using data analysis and econometric and macroeconomic modelling tools to help with empirical and quantitative assessments.
The traineeship offers you excellent opportunities to enhance your quantitative skills and work with experienced economists while gaining insight into analysis and policy within a central bank. It will expose you to ideas, debates and challenges that will provide a useful foundation for your future career and/or postgraduate studies. You will have access to internal seminars and conferences organised by the ECB. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
