PhD internship

**Use your research skills in a high-impact environment as a PhD intern at De Nederlandsche Bank.**

This is what you will be doing as a PhD intern at DNB

At De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB, the central bank of the Netherlands) you will collaborate closely with other DNB researchers, with the explicit aim to pursue a project until publication in an international academic journal. Co-authorship with DNB staff is strongly encouraged. You proactively engage in dialogue with policy makers and fellow researchers inside DNB to achieve synergy between research and policy. At the end of your internship (scheduled in 2025, expected duration 3-6 months) you will present in a seminar the preliminary results of your research to DNB staff.

This is what we need from you

In principle only EU-citizens will be considered. You should be advanced into your PhD-studies (ideally, third year onwards) and beyond the stage of PhD-courses. Selection for internship positions will be based on a research statement (max 2 pages), as well as CV and drafts of ongoing research. Your research statement is important to evaluate that your research interests and technical skills are consistent with the DNB research agenda. It also should include your motivation for choosing DNB as host institution.

You are able to explain research results in an accessible way and translate them into clear policy recommendations. You are enthusiastic and thrive on having an actual impact on economic policy making.

This is what we offer you

DNB will reimburse travel expenses and offer a compensation. We work in an informal, academic atmosphere with ample room for personal development. DNB is right at the heart of today's financial and economic current events. With a reliable and socially involved employer in Amsterdam, who constantly responds to the changing requirements of our environment. As an institution, we are at the heart of society. Our people are driven and involved in their work within a social context. We see a diverse and inclusive work environment as one of the conditions for being successful as an organization and continuing to achieve our goals.
