Banca d'Italia - 4 POSITIONS FOR RESEARCH ECONOMISTS

Banca d’Italia, the Italian central bank, is seeking 4 PhD trained research economists. We offer the opportunity of carrying out your research in a lively, diverse and research-oriented environment heavily engaged in a broad spectrum of topics and of letting your research have an impact on the real world by actively and directly informing policymaking.

Successful candidates will be initially awarded a one-year position as Fellow in the Bank’s Directorate General for Economics, Statistics and Research based in Rome. After one year, fellows will be assessed for hiring as research economist on a permanent basis at the Consigliere grade and be fully integrated into the research and policy work of the Bank.

Fellows will earn a monthly allowance of € 4,000 before tax during the first year; a Consigliere can expect an annual entry gross income of around € 85.000 before tax. Foreign residents (including Italian citizens) moving to Italy could be entitled to major tax breaks for a few years.

Applicants must hold or be about to complete a Ph.D degree. They must be EU citizens; non-EU citizens also qualify provided they hold a long-term EC residence permit or refugee status or subsidiary protection status; family members of citizens of a European Union Member State who do not have citizenship of an EU Member state must have the right of residence or the right of permanent residence. Working language is English.

The interviews will be held online from 4 to 17 December 2024; the interviews from 16 to 17 December will be held in conjunction with the European Job Market for Economists.
